Watch our video from the TackleLondon launch day at Meridian School to understand the impact and effectiveness we have on young people. Assistant Head Robyn said "Once we are able to share how invaluable this has been with those other schools people will be able to see that this is something so beneficial for the child in general. They'll see the benefits and they'll roll it out there as well" #TackleLondon #changeforyoungpeople #rugby #schoolrugby #rugbyforall
