This year we have supported many charities
including Cancer Research, Movember, Land Aid, Sam Beare Hospice Weybridge and Macmillan. Our Christmas Charity is Teddington U12’s
Rugby team and we are buying their splendid umbrellas to give as gifts to our
clients which all helps them with their fundraising.
To celebrate seven years of training and
playing together, Teddington U12's are looking to raise funds to take the boys
on their “coming of age” tour to Normandy, France. This tour traditionally
marks the end of their time in the ‘minis’ section of the club and the move to
junior rugby, and as such is more than just a rugby tour. On top of a local club fixture and a major
rugby festival against some strong French teams, the boys will also be
taken to the Normandy beaches and guided through the WWII cemeteries. Teddington RFC hopes this will enhance their
understanding of the world around them and its history and that through sport
and particularly the unique spirit and camaraderie that comes from rugby, they
can make friends across the borders of language and culture.
Teddington RFC has thrived due to the
continued support of Chapman Consulting and other local businesses and we hope
that with our support, it can enable us to bring more children to the wonderful
world of rugby.
