Corporate Partnerships

You can join our vision to change the lives of young people, and there is no better time to make a difference.

Over the last 6 years we have seen how sport can inspire and how rugby values can transform someone’s life. Any donation or sponsorship will directly provide vital support for our programmes, enabling each young person to gain qualifications, provide coaching for schools in disadvantaged areas, or give them experience they may never forget.

Each young person we help is on our doorstep and we take significant pride in the work we carry out across Bedford and Central Bedfordshire.

Partnership Packages:

We have a menu of packages which can enable our participants to thrive. By investing in local young people, you are helping them be the best version of themselves. See our tiered packages below, more information can be shared and we would love to meet with you to discuss in more detail.
