Strathmore Community Rugby Trust are delighted to have been selected as recipients of a £2500 donation towards the running cost of our Autism-Friendly Rugby sessions by a new charity set up to support grass roots rugby in Scotland.
Much like the Trust, Grass-roots Rugby for Everyone Awards Trust (“GREAT”) is a Charity who believe that everyone should have the opportunity to play and enjoy rugby . Their mission is to grow the number of children and adults throughout Scotland who play and support rugby at grass-roots level. They do this through awarding grants to individuals, rugby clubs, schools and charities.
By providing new opportunities for children and adults to become involved in rugby, GREAT is hoping to grow the game, bring communities back together and improve the pool of talent in schools, clubs and the professional and national teams.
More information about GREAT, including how to make a donation, can be obtained on their website, www.greatrugby.scot.
Founding Trustee Stuart Gray was presented with the cheque by GREAT Patron, Gregor Townsend, on Friday ahead of Scotland’s clash with Wales on the 8th March.
We are extremely grateful to GREAT for their support. The funding will be put towards the facility hire costs for our Autism-Friendly Rugby sessions.
