We are delighted to share the School Of Hard Knocks (SOHK) 2024/25 Impact Report highlighting the difference our team made to the lives of so many young people last academic year. Working in partnership with 29 secondary schools across England, Wales and Scotland, we supported almost 900 young people every week of the school year.

At a time when school attendance is at a national crisis point, it is the most vulnerable and disadvantaged who face the greatest risk to their long-term futures. And even when young people are in school, being present is not the same as being engaged.

That’s where SOHK makes a difference. By combining rugby, expert 1:1 support and genuine care, we help young people re-engage, build confidence and change their direction of travel for the better.

This coming year, we will focus our efforts on widening access to SOHK, deepening our partnerships, and ensuring that every young person – regardless of circumstance - has the chance to thrive.
