Two of our first team players are helping young students work towards their GCSE's.

We have teamed up with Skill Force, an education charity that helps young people enter further education and employment ,to help students towards their Duke of Edinburgh award which counts as two GCSE grades.

Midfielder Matt Somner and fans' favourite Gary Silk helped navigate students around Sherwood Forest as part of their training for the award, which takes place on 22^nd June.

Other activities have included bowling, cycling, raft building and a tour around Nottingham Forest's City Ground.

Student Levi Allgood said: "We train every two weeks so it's really nice to see other people joining in, especially some of the Mansfield Town players.

"Skill Force has helped me get into West Notts College to do catering because I want to be a chef."

We will also be donating ten footballs to the charity in our continued support of Skill Force and young people.
