What do we do ?
We create partnerships with as many local organisations as possible that will enable Workington Town to use its platform in the area to add value to, deliver and raise awareness of local projects.
Our input isn't restricted to solely Rugby League, we are happy to listen to any potential projects and interventions that improve and enhance the lives of the people of West Cumbria.
If it's suitable to assist we will endeavour to help.
Since we commenced this work we have worked alongside the HAF project, Workington Town Council, Workington Academy, St Joseph’s Secondary School, Seaton Primary, Westfield Primary, Jericho Primary School, Whitehaven, The West Cumbria Learning Centre and also with local community clubs Ellenborough Rangers ARLFC Youth and Cockermouth Titans ARLFC.
We have worked hard to reignite the charitable arm of the club and now the Workington Town Community Trust is a standalone entity!

Successful feedback!
Our link with Workington Town has been hugely successful this 2021 academic year in terms of raising the profile of Rugby League within our school, increasing participation numbers and improving the success of our teams.
Jamie has worked primarily with the Year 7 boys and girls but has also led sessions with a Year 10 group. This project has motivated students who have enjoyed having a local role model in school delivering lessons. Jamie Doran's professionalism and the way he builds rapport with our students has been fantastic to see. Many of our students attend Workington Town matches and having their captain in school has certainly created a buzz.
The Year 7 boys are in the County cup final, and we now regularly have upwards of 12 Year 7s attend Rugby League practice. The girls have also responded very well, and we expect high numbers at their Rugby club when they start their after-school training sessions and fixtures after Christmas.
Jamie was also interviewed by the students who run the Workington Academy Radio station. This was massively successful and created a real feel-good factor both within The Academy and on our Social Media accounts in the lead up to Workington's play-off final victory against Doncaster.
This promoted Rugby League not only from a playing perspective but also got students who are interested in Rugby but not the playing side involved, one of the key messages we are encouraging is that you should be the best you can be in whatever interests you have, Jamie as part of Workington Town's Make a Difference scheme, is certainly encouraging that and is definitely making a difference at Workington Academy and long may our partnership continue'

And more.......
Jamie has quickly become a fantastic attribute to our team. We are really pleased we got in touch with Workington Town and the difference the scheme is making is clear.
He has been taking part in lessons across all key stages. He has been assisting with the cooking lessons for GCSEs .
He has delivered Rugby skills sessions on the yard with the KS3.
He has also had a personal invite by a year 11 to stay for Lunch next Wednesday for his coursework.
Can you pass on our thanks for his commitment, we are delighted on how the partnership is progressing and the kids loved their visit to Derwent Park last week, maybe we can help inspire our students to see the benefits of what sport can bring!
