Guscio plc ("Guscio", the "Company" or the "Group")
Saracens Sport Foundation and Haileybury School become inaugural
Champions of Skills2Achieve
Guscio plc (AIM: GUSC), the technology company focused on
programmes in physical literacy and sporting assessment, is pleased
to announce that it has launched a sponsorship programme (the
"Champions Programme"), which enables philanthropic organisations,
corporate sponsors (as part of their CSR activities) and High Net
Worth Individuals ("HNWIs") ("S2A Champions") to acquire packages
of licences for the benefit of clusters of primary schools of their
choice and provide such schools with the Company's innovative
tracking and assessment programme for physical literacy,
Skills2Achieve ("S2A"). S2A has been developed with the Youth Sport
Trust ("YST"), a leading charity for sports-driven and educational
programmes.
The Saracens Sport Foundation, the charitable arm of Saracens
F.C., one of the UK's leading rugby union clubs, and Haileybury
School, one of the UK's leading independent secondary schools, have
become inaugural S2A Champions and have each sponsored the cost of
providing S2A licences to separate clusters of primary schools. The
packages of S2A licences are for an initial 12-month period subject
to renewal annually thereafter. Haileybury has since introduced the
model to further leading independent schools.
The Company is in on-going discussions with several HNWIs,
organisations and schools interested in joining the Champions
Programme to help deliver excellence in physical education through
S2A, which works to improve the health and wellbeing of young
people, drive achievement and impact whole school improvement.
Under the existing collaboration agreement between Sportsdata
Limited ("Sportsdata"), a subsidiary of the Company, and Youth
Sport Direct Limited ("YSD"), the online retailer of goods and
services supporting the work of the YST, Sportsdata receives 50 per
cent. of the revenue from any S2A licences sold by YSD.
Guscio MD, Gail Ganney, said: "The health and well-being of our
young people impacts all areas of their development and progress
and, with childhood obesity rising, there has never been a more
important time to help young people develop their physical, social
and emotional wellbeing. We are therefore delighted with the
response from individuals and organisations nationwide keen to
support groups of their local schools, to develop happy and healthy
young people equipped to succeed. In particular, we are delighted
to welcome Saracens Sport Foundation and Haileybury School as S2A
Champions and we look forward to finding new partners and extending
the Champions Programme throughout the UK."
