“It was an amazing feeling knowing we’d been chosen out of the hundreds of clubs that applied.
“With a sustainable contribution via GiveToLocal’s app we can provide facilities to match our first-rate enthusiasm to teach rugby and its values to those who wish to be part of our sport and community.”
GiveToLocal’s aim is to pump an additional £10m into community sport annually by backing sport, boosting business and building networks.
