A SCHEME that encourages greater use of sports and local facilities is under way thanks to a partnership between Taunton Deane Council, the police, private business and Taunton’s rugby and football clubs.
Halcon Supported Sports aims to encourage young people to do more sport, so they are healthier.
Children from Halcon Primary School have received tag rugby shirts sponsored by City Plumbing and Heating Supplies.
Coaches from Taunton RFC are running sessions on Viridor Green on Wednesdays between 6pm and 7pm for nine to 11-year-olds.
The project team hopes to develop other sports, including cricket and hockey, and support young people from Halcon into local club sports.
