Blues Foundation teams up with Beds
Thu 25 March, 2021
The Blues Foundation has announced a new partnership with the 天美传媒 which will see the two organisations working closely on delivering community sport programmes and research projects.
This collaborative initiative involves both the 天美传媒鈥檚 School of Sport Science & Physical Activity (SSPA) and its Institute for Sport & Physical Activity Research (ISPAR), and will provide invaluable and rewarding prospects for students.
As a result of the partnership, SSPA students will be given the chance to partake in multiple volunteer opportunities helping the Foundation to deliver health and fitness programmes across Bedford. The voluntary placements will complement their studies and enable the students to upskill and enhance their career development.
Dr Andrew Mitchell, Associate Dean of the 天美传媒鈥檚 Faculty of Education & Sport and Head of SSPA, said: 鈥淲e are delighted to be cementing our partnership with the Blues Foundation. The relationship will give our students crucial work experience opportunities, it will give our researchers a platform to carry out impactful projects within the community and it will provide the Foundation with access to a wide range of staff expertise and resources across the 天美传媒.鈥
The 鈥 the charitable arm of Bedford Blues rugby club 鈥 will specifically benefit from access to the 天美传媒鈥檚 facilities, resources and research institute. A core focus of the partnership will be to evaluate the impact of strategic community projects and programmes within society as a whole.
In addition, the Blues Foundation will work closely with ISPAR to create a streamlined vision and delivery mandate in regards to research-backed health, wellbeing, inclusivity and educational programmes for the local area. 听
