3 initiatives to combat anti-social behaviour

Northwich RUFC have been working with Northwich Town council and other agencies to bring fully inclusive sports camps to Moss Farm Leisure complex over the summer months. The camps were completely free for children in receipt of pupil premium funding and just £10 per day for all other participants.

Daily over 60 primary school children attended ‘Northwich Multi-Sports Camp’ and were treated to fun, engaging and competitive sports, including dodgeball, cricket, football, rugby and the occasional water fight thrown into the mix!

As well as targeting primary school Children, Camp leaders Sam Naylor and Aaron Collins also ran a new initiative called ‘Pitch up and Play’, aimed at secondary school children wanting to stay active over the summer period.

Northwich RUFC want to be at the forefront of the community and camps like these are a big part of that.

Naylor Comments “Moss Farm is a fantastic facility for Sport in the local community. It has been great to see so many kids enjoying a range of sports over the summer period, and the initial stages of the Moss Farm Development getting under way has also created a real buzz!”

The club has been working with Northwich Town Council, Cheshire FA and Cheshire Police on a third initiative called ‘Footy and a Feed’. It involves football games on the FA 4G pitch, followed by a free meal at the rugby club and taster sessions for Kids wanting to blow off more steam on the tackle pads! This initiative has been free for all attending and supports the town council‘s aim of using sport as a method to clamp down on anti-social behaviour in the area.

The club has every intention on supporting more camps in the future along with growing it’s thriving junior rugby section. Anyone interested should visit the ‘Northwich Multi-Sports Camp’ and ‘Northwich RUFC’ social media pages.
