The Spurs foundation has set up the nine-week programme, which includes robotics and sustainability for the global transition towards green energy by helping youngsters develop skills in science, technology, engineering and maths.

It is working with Schneider Electric - a French multinational corporation that specializes in digital automation and energy management - to run workshops on problem-solving and critical thinking.

“We need to inspire talent from an early age to harness the global energy transition,” Schneider Electric’s UK president Kelly Becke said.

“Environmental change is equipping the next generation with skills to develop efficient energy for a sustainable future.”

The programme offers apprenticeships for school-leavers in the Tottenham area.

It is also aiming at working towards 100 per cent renewable energy for all electrical equipment at the White Hart stadium, which includes the world’s first electric karting facility.

The children they played with at Noah's Ark Children's Hospice included six-year-old Willow, who was diagnosed with Type 2 Spinal Muscular Atrophy when she was just 18 months old.

Willow was the star of the charity’s recent ‘From that Moment’ campaign, supported by Tottenham Hotspur FC, that has raised £1 million to help meet the annual £6m running costs.

“It was so great to see the smiles on the kids’ faces in spite of the challenges they are facing,” Bethany said. “We learned about the incredible care that Noah’s Ark is giving to these families.”

Bethany's teammate Hayley Raso was also impressed by the hospice facilities. She said: “The building is absolutely beautiful — it was a joy to meet with some of the families supported by the charity.”

The hospice in High Barnet supports babies, children, and young people with life-limiting or threatening conditions to make the most of every day.

One of the parents, Simon, whose daughter Ruby is supported by the hospice, said: “Ruby loves coming to Noah’s Ark and always gets excited when we are driving over.

“So many lovely memories have been made here. It was lovely meeting Beth and Hayley who took the time to play with Ruby and Willow — even getting in the ball-pit.”

Spurs men’s team vice-captain James Maddison toured the facilities earlier this year when he looked round the Therapies wing and accessible playground then gave the families a hamper of Spurs-themed games and toys. He also dedicated his annual golf day to the hospice in May that raised £75,000.

Noah’s Ark takes referrals from the London boroughs of Barnet, Enfield, Haringey, Camden and Islington, as well as from Hertsmere in Hertfordshire.

Spurs’ north London Derby fixture against Arsenal Women on November 16 is being dedicated to Noah’s Ark. Fans can donate through volunteers in the White Hart Lane stadium and outside Seven Sisters Underground station in Tottenham.

Wellwishers can also help Noah’s Ark by sending a “NOAH” text to 70490 to donate £10 at one standard network rate message.

The Bears rallied to their fourth win of the NFL campaign on a day where Cole Kmet and Keenan Allen both managed two touchdowns apiece.

Rookie quarterback Williams, the number one pick of this year’s draft, missed an opportunity for another touchdown to DJ Moore.

His pass was intercepted in the second quarter before his side cruised to victory.

When asked what he credited his performance to, Williams said: “The offensive line, coaching, progress, leadership and the mindset of ‘keep going’ and I think us getting out there and believing in each other is what I credit it to.

“DJ was wide open. I didn’t put enough juice on it and the safety had an easy interception. I need to be better because that would have got everything going. We can’t have turnovers and that’s something I pride myself on, it affects the whole team and the momentum.”

Williams’ fine performance came after his two touchdown throw performance against the Panthers earlier this month.

The victory mounted pressure on the Jags, with Doug Pederson’s side suffering their fifth defeat of the campaign.

Bears coach Matt Eberflus spoke on Williams’ progression, adding: “It’s always great, right, because that’s consistency. You make the progress and you want it to be linear but it’s not always that way.

“I felt he and the football team took a step in the right direction by playing that complimentary football with him being able to distribute the ball. He did a nice job today.”

Kmet came in as an emergency long snapper following an injury to Tyler Scott during the match.

The 25-year-old tight end caught a 31-yard pass from Williams to claim the first touchdown score of the match.

“It was a great play concept,” Kmet told reporters.

“They presented a good defence for us to run that and we had a bunch of screens. My guy was blocked for a second there, gave a good fake and I was able to break a tackle and get into the end zone.”

The teenage player joined in light exercises at Tottenham Community Sports Centre, across the road from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in High Road.

His visit came after the programme was shortlisted for this year’s Sports Business awards.

“The work that Spurs does in the community is fantastic,” he said. “Helping the community is important for me — I always think I’d want my club to be there if a family member needed support.”

The programme of physical activity sessions is run for people from the north London boroughs of Haringey, Enfield and surrounding areas who have had a cancer diagnosis in the last five years.

It runs one-to-one and group sessions as well as online, tailored according to the needs of each person, exercising with light equipment such as dumbbells and resistance bands.

Those taking part are also referred to open gym classes, yoga sessions and other group activities.

Spurs supporter Joanna Ashmore, who joined after surgery and immunotherapy for bowel cancer, is among those currently taking part.

She revealed: “The side effects from my treatment have lasted way longer than the treatment itself and my body’s changed beyond belief.

“But I’m already starting to see changes thanks to this programme. It’s everything I’ve wanted because activities are tailored for me.”

Another cancer survivor taking part is Angela Epps, who also met Gray.

Angela, who had pre-breast cancer but has now been given the ‘all clear’, said: “This programme has been helpful to push me in a safe environment. I found sessions quite tiring at first but we’ve built up slowly by tailoring something that’s right for me.”

The programme runs more than 1,000 tailored sessions every year and the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation claims they bring an uplifting effect for those taking part, whatever the future holds for them.

They aim to improve people’s physical ability to move by helping to maintain and strengthen their muscles and creating positive habits to assist their long-term treatment.
