[Tactic Connect Ltd @TacticConnect]

A privilege to have witnessed the work of the @Concacaf #NextPlay programme in #Jamaica - a fantastic initiative providing quality coaching and access to football to children who don’t get a chance to play. Well done everyone involved 👏👏👏

[Tactic Connect Ltd @TacticConnect]

The #NextPlay programme also teaches essential life skills that participants can relate to the pitch and in the community- really looking forward to seeing this programme grow in 2019. Well done to @Concacaf harnessing the power of football to promote inclusion and learning👍

[Rio Ferdinand Foundation @riofoundation]

Thanks for flagging this to us - as you know using sport to change lives and inspire young people is close to the heart of both @rioferdy5 and @riofoundation - great to see an organisation like @Concacaf driving #NextPlay in the Caribbean. Best of luck and keep us posted.

[Zesh Rehman Foundation @ZRFoundation]

A very interesting piece of work by @Concacaf #NextPlay to encourage young people to get involved in sport and learn life skills - very much a reflection of our work in the UK and that of @Zesh_Rehman @KCSouthernFC in #HongKong - great to see #SportforDev on a global stage.

More than a third of the population lives with one or more long-term health conditions.

And they're more likely to do little or no activity.

We're investing £1.3 million of #nationallottery funding in the @RichmondGroup14 to help change that 👇
