NatWest extends WRU initiative

The Welsh Rugby Union and banking group NatWest have agreed a four-year extension of their NatWest RugbyForce grassroots initiative.

Launched in 2009, NatWest Rugby Force aims to help local rugby clubs to improve their facilities through the support of volunteers and the community with the long-term aim of making clubs financially viable small businesses.

The new deal aims to increase the number of clubs that benefit from the initiative through a roadshow that will tour the country and adds the NatWest Rugby Force Ahead For Business workshops to the programme.
