BERWICK RFC has once again demonstrated its commitment to making a positive
impact in the community. Through their recent fundraising efforts, they successfully
raised an impressive £1,200 for Wooden Spoon Northumberland, a charity dedicated to
improving the lives of disadvantaged and disabled children through rugby-related
initiatives.
THE WOODEN SPOON RAFFLE
The heartwarming success story unfolded during the derby game against local club
Alnwick RFC, where members and supporters of both clubs came together to purchase
tickets. Their generosity not only fuelled the excitement of the raffle but also contributed
significantly to the charity’s mission. Berwick RFC is quite unique, being a member of
both the Rugby Football Union and the Scottish Rugby Union and the prizes reflect this,
being signed shirts from both England and Scotland.
MAKING A DIFFERENCE
The funds raised by Berwick RFC will directly benefit local children in Northumberland,
providing them with opportunities to participate in rugby programs, access essential
resources, and experience the joy of sports. Wooden Spoon Northumberland’s tireless
efforts ensure that every pound raised goes toward creating positive change in young
lives.
A COMMUNITY EFFORT
The achievement wouldn’t have been possible without the collective spirit of the Berwick
rugby community. From players and coaches to fans and sponsors, everyone played a
vital role in this remarkable fundraising endeavour.
LOOKING AHEAD
As we celebrate this achievement, let’s continue supporting Wooden Spoon
Northumberland and championing the cause of children’s well-being. Whether through
raffles, events, or direct donations, every contribution matters.
Thank you, Berwick RFC, for exemplifying the true spirit of rugby and making a
difference where it counts the most!
