TRAINING WITH THE HARLEQUINS As part of their pre-season preparations, the Harlequins rugby squad teamed up with professional development consultancy Mission Performance and ShelterBox for a unique team-building training session. Twickenham-based ‘Quins’ have been engaged with ShelterBox fundraising for some time, but this was the first course to be arranged with our Academy training unit. The fictional disaster scenarios were all linked with ShelterBox’s work, providing emergency shelter and lifesaving supplies for families around the world at the time when they need it most.
PEDAL POWER FOR SHELTERBOX Inspired by British wins in the Tour de France and the Olympics, it seems that everyone has been climbing into the saddle to raise money for ShelterBox. We had four entrants in ‘Ride London’, the largest cycling event ever held in the UK, and other intrepid cyclists have Los Angeles and Alaska in their sights.
‘Prudential Ride London’ was one of the greatest mass-participation cycling events in the world. Pedal power replaced piston power as the capital’s roads were closed to traffic.
