In September 2023, Royal Wootton Bassett Rugby Club embarked on an ambitious journey to make an impact in the Swindon and North Wiltshire area by employing a dedicated Community Rugby Coach.

This initiative aimed to reintroduce structured sports coaching to local primary and secondary schools, filling the gap left by a diminishing number of qualified teachers delivering sport in schools.

The results have been nothing short of phenomenal. School staff and students have showered the programme with praise, particularly highlighting the significant increase in girls' participation in rugby—a testament to the programme's inclusivity and effectiveness.

Our Community Rugby initiative was made possible thanks to the generosity of one of our key sponsors. However, as this support nears its end, we face the challenge of continuing the growth of this vital programme.

  

   

Your opportunity to make a difference

We are reaching out to local businesses with a strong commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) to support our Community Rugby Coaching programme.

Your company can play a crucial role in fostering youth development and physical fitness. Your support will help provide structured sports training to hundreds of young people, promoting physical health and teamwork.

Partnering with Royal Wootton Bassett RFC offers excellent visibility and demonstrates your company's commitment to community development and social responsibility.

If you are interested in exploring this opportunity, we would love to discuss how your collaboration will make a significant social impact while enhancing your CSR portfolio. Together, we can ensure the continued success of this programme and bring lasting benefits to children and young people in the local community.

Please get in touch with Chris Elias at 07748 568082 for an exploratory chat.
