Community Links
Part of the ethos at Falcon is to build and maintain strong links with our local community. This has been done by setting up satellite clubs with local schools, organising one-off taster sessions and by running longer courses for various local organisations. In 2012 we were presented with the prestigious Queen's Award for Voluntary Service in recognition of the work we do within our local community. Here is a list of some of the community groups and organisations we have worked with:
