Community Programme Car Sponsor As of 2016 London Skolars have been looking for help as it attempts to expand its reach within London. One of the major current limitations is our mode of transport, currently our community coach is attempting to serve four London boroughs- coaching their children and providing meaningful health & nutritional advice solely via public transport. This is an extremely limiting factor. The club are therefore looking for help in purchasing a car, in return the club would be more than happy to have it branded in the companies logo etc. This will be seen all across North London 6 days per week, obtaining extremely high engagement from the public. It also a great way to enhance a companies reputation.
