TRWC is supporting Rugby for Heroes. Rugby for Heroes is a registered charity that works with the Rugby community to raise funds and awareness for military personnel making the often difficult transition back to civilian life. The Charity is committed to providing financial and personal support to help individuals overcome the many challenges that this transition process presents. There are some obvious parallels that can be drawn between the UK’s Armed Forces and the sport of rugby – the traditions and core values of: leadership, teamwork, commitment, discipline, courage, respect, loyalty and camaraderie are all values in which the sport of rugby and the military unite behind and aspire to and it is these values that RUGBY FOR HEROES champions. When the time comes for a person to leave the Armed Forces we believe the rugby community can offer a sense of belonging to our returning heroes that is easy for them to recognise and relate to. Through rugby teams, coaching and the wider community we are a dependable friend in a time of transition.
The Rugby for Heroes Charity is a great way for personnel leaving the Armed Forces to transition into Civvy Street and possibly make it in the Rugby Community and a Club.
The Rugby Wine Club also seems like a very good opportunity for Rugby Clubhouses to boost funding, which they absolutely need together with joining members. Keep up the great work to both The Rugby Wine Club and Rugby for Heroes.
We completely agree Rob!
