How you're growing grassroots rugby

Whichever team you're supporting in the Six Nations, you can feel good as thanks to you over £200 million has gone to nearly 4,000 grass-roots rugby projects across the UK, nurturing talent, pride and passion in our communities.

Grassroots clubs, like Chesterfield Panthers RFC, are really benefitting from your support. A National Lottery grant provided match-quality floodlighting for a full-size rugby pitch and lighting for a multi-use games area and grass training field. Now, its 16 teams cater for players of all abilities and levels. With a starting age of just two-years-old, you'll find a rugby ball in the arms of local children as soon as they start toddling.
