Coventry City's study support centre is one of the
10 football clubs who received a grant from Reading
The Game to run a RIF
project during 2002/2003.
The project ran for 14 disadvantaged children, and
6 from an excluded group (for three terms). Children
visited Waterstones as part of the project. The centre
itself is a Partnership Centre (one of six in the city)
which provides opportunities for local businesses with
staff training.
In addition to the RTG grant which provided books for
60 children, the centre spent an extra £1,200 on an
additional 100 children.
In March 2001, David Reed, of the Warwickshire Library
Service set up a promotion with Bedworth Library. Coventry
City FC provided a signed football, some match tickets
and a table football game to support the library initiative
which was aimed at encouraging Year 7s at a local comprehensive.
