Liam Welch, Education Lead at Northampton Saints Foundation said 'Preserving the past and protecting the future is an important part of the Foundation who have its own heritage department dedicated to chronicling the history of Northampton Saints".
The support of young people has been a deep-rooted part of Northampton Saints since the club was founded in 1880 by Samuel Wathan Wigg, today we continue to use the values of rugby to inspire, support and educate young people through our education and social inclusion programmes.

Liam continued "I am delighted to have developed this engaging and informative five week programme to deliver within schools which encompasses our heritage and education departments".
The programme is suitable for those in key stage two and all sessions are delivered within your school. With two members of Northampton Saints staff in attendance, we ask to work with a minimum of two classes, to enable us to run our sessions on a rotation basis.
