- About Advantage!
Advantage! a registered charity, is the community arm of Barrow Raiders RLFC
Advantage!, a registered charity, is the community arm of Barrow Raiders RLFC, is designed to support people who suffer disadvantage within the heart of Barrow.
Thanks to the support from BAE systems, Cumbria Community Foundation, Sir John Fisher Foundation, Walney Extension Community Fund, Sport England, Cumbria County Council Community Grant, the Police and Crime Commissioner and many more.
Advantage! is now a sustained but still developing programme with its initial focus and immediate dynamic impact being to improve the physical and mental wellbeing of the young people and adults, and vulnerable adults, in the heart of Barrow, through the medium of rugby league and healthy lifestyle initiatives.
A particular challenge is now to encourage our community to bounce back from Covid-19 and raise the morale of our citizens as our town was stigmatized as pariah town by national media.
Advantage! would not exist without the support of Steve Neale and Barrow Raiders RLFC!
Now, thanks to support from our Patrons, Advantage! is a sustained, but still developing programme, touching the lives of over 800 people per week, maintaining its initial focus and impacting on the wellbeing of the community, in the heart of Barrow.
