Sport is an immensely powerful tool in tackling social isolation.
For too many, access to opportunities for in-person connection are too few.
It was great to hear the experiences of community, friendship and belonging, as part of our work on the Men and Boys strategy and the Government’s work on social connection to tackle loneliness.
Thank you to Castleford Tigers for hosting Jake Richards MP and I and to Men’s Sheds and Rugby League Cares for bringing the group together!
