SUPPORT GRASS ROOTS and YOUNG ADULT RUGBY

Talk to the team about how you can help to support our youth sections. Contact James Fleming or Russell Ticehurst to discuss.

B2B NETWORK

In all business structures, there are ways for us to support each other.

If you market a product that could be of benefit to our business, why not talk to us.

We are a high profile business with global supporters and members from all business sectors and multiple demographics.

We have an increasing number of junior players from 6 to 18 playing at Blackheath and we continually need funds to support their activities and make rugby accessible to all.

Your company could help us achieve this by supporting coaches, kit, training equipment, travelling to matches & membership. Commit to a direct debit or a one-off season payment to help young people develop skills off & on the pitch that will be invaluable in their formative years.

After the Pandemic we decided that we should support young adults who may be in their 1st university year or their first job. Many young people struggled with their mental health during the pandemic lockdowns so we took away any financial burden by giving free membership to those aged 18-22 enabling them to come to Club for training as soon as it was allowed and to socialise with their peer group. We fund this entirely but would love a partner to have this initiative branded with their company details for 20 memberships - contact James Fleming or Russell Ticehurst for details of cost.

In exchange your name (or company name) will be included on our sponsorship web page specifically stating that you are supporting the young people in our community. In addition, we will also share your social media stories to our committed fan base.
