The Community Manager is Alex Green. I would suggest you contact Alex.

The Head of Youth is Pete Riding.
Head of Talent Identification is Steve Copley.

That's where it get confusing but I have had this explained to me by our coach coordinator !, Alex green is community manager BUT this is run by the Tigers Trust. Tigers Trust does nothing in community or junior clubs. Therefore Cas tigers have nothing going on in clubs !

Not sure the other 2 would have anything to with that area ?

The Tigers Trust is a charity separate entity to the club and is operated by Ian Garforth. This is the information you need: http://www.castigers.com/page.php?id=792

Hi Fully , that was the information that we acted upon when we 1st enquired about some input at our club. We have since found the following- Ian Garforth does not work for the club , he is a trustee of tigers trust. The tiger Trust is responsible for All community projects & doesn't operate in community clubs !
None of the "partnership" clubs have had any coaching or input for a number of years (barring the odd player at awards nights). None of the projects such as the earn your stripes (mentioned on the link you gave) are being delivered , indeed they do not even exist anymore !
In short ,the trust is now the community arm of the club - they do not run any programmes in community clubs and the partnership clubs have not been "serviced" for a long time (2/3years). If you find this hard to believe (which we did) please speak to the club. If people voice their opinion as we have they may do something about it.

I will look into this for you and will pass on your comments to the higher ups.

Failing that, email Steve Gill and pass on your concerns - if you want his address, please let me know.
