Raider Leaders

Advantage! Barrow Raiders Community Foundation run a bespoke leadership programme for young people aged 14 and over. 

Our first cohort of students, selected in the summer of 2019, have had experience shadowing the coaching staff, supporting the delivery of Advantage! sports camps and taken part in coaching workshops. Many have undertaken accredited courses, sponsored by Advantage! 

The pandemic halted our expansion of this programme, but since restrictions have lifted, we have been able to expand our cohort. The group are currently taking part in workshops leading up to our summer camp, and are attending initiatives such as the BeWell Festival and other events, to support our work.  

Advantage! see sports leadership and developing young people as a very important initiative, giving young people opportunities to improve their self-esteem and employability prospects.  

Thank you to initial support from Direct Rail Services for sponsoring our Raider Leaders uniform.
