School of Hard Knocks

First up today a meeting with @SOHKcharity – a great example of sport and development being used to deliver greater social outcomes. Whilst the Sky TV programme is well known for the amazing differences it makes to the lives of the participants there is also a charity that aims to deliver these programmes all year round. I have met and chatted to some of the participants and genuinely humbled at the changes the 12 weeks have made to their lives. Sport can obviously be just good because it is sport – but when it can achieve these outcomes too we need to recognise the wider contribution to society.
