within schools. At grassroots level, helped by the
Rathbones Community Expansion Programme, the
number of female U14 lacrosse players more than
doubled between 2014 and 2016.
“Sponsoring lacrosse fits closely with our
broader objective to help the young develop life
skills and personal qualities,” says Rathbones CEO
Philip Howell. “Whilst we started with junior girls’
lacrosse it was a natural step to help the World Cup
come to the UK to shine a light on the sport and
help inspire the young.”
And for those starting out on a journey towards
their dreams, be emboldened by advice from Kate
Richardson-Walsh. “When I was a teenager growing
up I thought maybe I can’t ever be world class, but
actually everybody can be world class. Everybody
has strengths. You just need to find those strengths
and leverage on those strengths and be the very
best that you can be.”
Rathbones has sponsored schools lacrosse
