Learn more about HITZ

Exeter Chiefs are offering an open invite to those interested in finding out more about the hugely successful HITZ Programme at a special launch at Sandy Park on Thursday, October 23 (12pm).

The award-winning HITZ programme tackles some of the greatest challenges facing young people today - unemployment, crime and disillusionment.

Delivered nationally by Premiership Rugby and funded by partners Barclays, Comic Relief, Land Rover and Wooden Spoon, HITZ uses rugby to increase young peoples resilience, self-reliance and confidence. It gives them the skills to get back into education, vocational training, apprenticeships and employment. HITZ gives those with no hope new hope.

Entering into the second half of it's first year, the Exeter Chiefs team have already been hard at work helping youngsters to break the cycle of unemployment, disillisionment and disengagement from productive society.

Now, they are inviting those interested in learning more about how HITZ can help within the local area to see a short presentation from Programme Leader Thomas Viljoen, engage in a quick Q&A session, before looking at a series of course workshops showcasing what can be learnt through the programme and, finally, a stadium tour of Sandy Park itself.
