“Having worked in sport most of my life, I understand the pressures each individual has to face everyday. Charities like TAG are vital as they represent a part of society that is prepared to tackle and mend broken communities, and provide a fantastic opportunity for young adults who are willing to prove themselves valuable to employers through the training they have received.”

Ian Holloway, Manager of Blackpool FC and ex-professional Footballer

“With youth unemployment becoming such a problem, the lack of access to internet services in disadvantaged communities makes it very hard for people to secure jobs. The Race Online 2012 Campaign works with partners like TAG to give people the chance to connect with potential employers online. We thank TAG for pledging to train staff and support youth engagement with online services – projects like theirs really do help transform society.”

Martha Lane Fox, UK Digital Champion and Co-Founder of Lastminute.com

”TAG does an incredible job to combat the current problem of youth unemployment and gives much needed hope to those who are often given few chances to succeed in today’s society. The motivation and drive behind the team has allowed TAG students to qualify as fitness instructors, integrate and give back to society. It is schemes like this that will begin to make a difference to young people’s lives and turn them into the success stories of tomorrow.”

Ian Wright, Ex-England and Arsenal Footballer
