Telford Tigers endeavour to get out and about in the local community. This can range from school visits to promote healthy lifestyles and sport to our very own Ice Zone facility. A government run project of “Playing for Success”.

In 2005 we joined forces with Telford and Wrekin Council and DFES (Department of Education and Skills) to create a new study centre at Telford Ice Rink. The new Ice Zone is fitted with state of the art IT equipment. Hundreds of children each year from schools all across the town get to learn all about the Tigers whilst also developing there fundamental language and mathematics skills.

Telford Tigers remain committed to aid the education of the children that attend the centre.

The players frequently meet the children providing support to the scheme wherever the Tigers help is required. At a recent open evening attended by over 200 children the players were able to teach the children basic skating and hockey skills as a reward for good work in the classroom. The centre uses these activities as a method of motivating pupils to work hard, and develop the skills that their schools feel these kids need to get back up to speed in school.

Tiger’s players also give talks on fitness, nutrition, and how to get involved in sport during school assemblies in the local area. In today’s society a healthy lifestyle is promoted from a very early age.

The Tigers dedication to the community is something the trust is very proud of and keen to promote, and as part of the newly implemented Schools & Com munity Development Programme in 2010, members of the squad accompanying head coach, Tom Watkins, have given presentations at primary schools throughout the area, and supported many community and charity events in the region.

Due to our existing structures in this field we feel that as a part of any marketing relationship we can provide access on a number of levels to the employees within your company.

This can be used as part of a incentive and loyalty scheme for the organisation, providing family tickets, access to Telford Tigers trials, incentives for achievement such as use of the corporate facilities for games. The options are varied and can be tailored to your company from the people therein.
