Our family friendly rugby club, based in the heart of our community, has partnered with the Star Scheme Charity to benefit local children.
Our club’s home is at Greenway Centre, and we are open to everyone of all abilities. We are now recruiting for all age groups. We keep joining costs as low as possible and always help families in any way we can. Our new partnership with Star means we can now help even more families.
Star Scheme helps children who have Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), including poor mental or emotional wellbeing, and/or who are financially disadvantaged. Star provides them with supported access to rugby and helps remove barriers such as helping with transport, cost of fees, and essential kit, and offers a friendly face to talk to.
Playing a team sport has so many advantages for children, especially those who are suffering with their mental health. We do not want financial hardship to be a barrier, and along with helping with this, Star Scheme have also provided extra training for coaches to be able to help children facing challenges.
We have already welcomed new players of different age groups thanks to the scheme and the feedback from the families involved has been heartwarming. We have seen incredible improvement in the players confidence levels both on and off the field, and we look forward to more joining.
