Following the announcement I made at the AGM we are pleased to announce that the Saints Family Rugby Fund has been set up and ready to receive donations.

We were approached last season by some people asking if we had a rugby fund that was available for them to donate into that solely supported rugby at the club. In response to this we have opened a separate bank account that will collect such donations, and the funds dispersed during the season to help provide equipment for players, or to support development of players and coaches. All these funds will be solely spent on rugby at the club.

The money will be allocated by the Director of Rugby, 1st team manager and Youth Chairman.

We are pleased to have received our first donation from an individual who has set up a standing order for £100 pm!

If you would like to make a donation please get in touch with us via st_austellrfc@outlook.com or simply tap me on the shoulder so we can provide the account details for you to make donations directly to the account.

Further to this we will shortly be looking to announce a further exciting opportunity to help grow the #SaintsFamily Rugby Fund whilst having the chance to win money yourself! More on this very soon and I hope you will give it your support as we roll into the 18/19 season.

I hope that this fund will help us to be able to react quickly in support of our teams and players, and look forward to seeing how this will benefit the development of rugby at the club.
