Pedal for a Purpose And Stride with Pride: Join Matt in Supporting Yate Rugby Academy!

Get ready for an exciting and impactful event – Pedal for a Purpose and Stride with Pride! Join us as Matt takes on an incredible challenge to raise money for Yate Rugby Academy and the Yate Outdoor Sports Complex. This year, we are inviting everyone to follow Matt as he travels through Bear Country and support our mission to nurture and develop rugby talent in our community. Your sponsorship will make a real difference, helping us continue to provide top-notch facilities and training opportunities for our players.

Why Your Support Matters

Last year, thanks to the generous support of our community, we raised enough money to start mid-week training sessions and fund new equipment. This investment has had a tremendous impact on our club, particularly for our contact groups. The additional training time has significantly enhanced their development, allowing our players to improve their skills and performance.

But we’re not stopping there. We have big plans for the future, and we need your help to make them a reality. By sponsoring Matt in the Pedal for a Purpose and Stride with Pride event, you’re directly contributing to the growth and success of Yate Rugby Academy.

How to Sponsor Matt

Sponsoring Matt is easy and every contribution counts! You can show your support by visiting Matt's JustGiving page and making a donation. Your sponsorship will help us:

Expand our training facilities and times
Purchase new equipment to aid in player development
Support the overall growth of Yate Rugby Academy at Yate Outdoor Sports Complex

Every penny raised goes directly back into the club, ensuring that we can continue to provide a positive and progressive environment for all our players.

The Impact of Your Sponsorship

The money raised from last year's event enabled us to introduce mid-week training, which has been a game-changer for our players. With more training time, our contact groups have seen massive improvements in their skills and overall performance. The new equipment funded by last year’s donations has also played a crucial role in enhancing our training sessions, making them more effective and engaging.

This year, with your help, we aim to achieve even more. Imagine the possibilities – more training sessions, better facilities, and continued support for our growing our Academy players. Your sponsorship can turn these dreams into reality.

Join Us in Supporting Matt and Yate Rugby Academy

We invite you to be a part of this exciting journey. Support Matt as he pedals with purpose and strides with pride through Bear Country. Your sponsorship not only helps our club but also strengthens our community, bringing us together through the shared love of rugby.
