Hardship Fund

We understand that the cost of living has risen significantly, and for many families sport has become an expense that is increasingly difficult to justify.

As a club, our priority is ensuring every child has the opportunity to participate in rugby, regardless of their family’s financial situation. We are proud to confirm that our 2026 season fees are free for all players.

Season registration continues to include a playing jersey and jacket. All players also have access to our boot-swap box, where outgrown boots can be exchanged for a good-quality preloved pair. We gratefully accept donations of boots in good condition to keep this initiative running.

While registration is fee-free, we have included the option to make a koha (donation) to our hardship and sustainability fund via our registration page. Any contribution, big or small, helps us continue offering free rugby and supporting families within our club community. Koha can also be made directly to our bank account: 03-0502-0195952-00.
