This programme will be facilitated by Manchester United staff, Rob Martin Employability And Skills Manager, ‘The Business’ will run 6 workshops over a 2-4 week period (May/June 2019), incorporating a regional football tournament.
If you have the skills on and off the pitch to help out with these workshops - please check out the browse opportunities or contact Shaunagh on volunteering@uusu.org
