The Bradford Bulls Foundation proudly welcomed 18 local Community Clubs for the 2024 season during a vibrant launch event held this past Monday evening. This initiative underscores the Foundation’s unwavering commitment to supporting grassroots rugby and fostering strong ties within the community.
At the heart of the Foundation’s ethos is the belief in nurturing talent and promoting inclusivity within the sport. Each partnered club gains access to a range of invaluable resources and opportunities aimed at enhancing their development both on and off the field.
The benefits extended to the partnered clubs include:
- Signed Shirt: Each team receives a signed shirt to either raffle off or proudly display within their club, serving as a symbol of their affiliation with the Bradford Bulls Foundation.
- Access to Bulls Talent Pathway: Young athletes within the partnered clubs gain access to the Bulls Talent Pathway, providing them with a structured framework for honing their skills and realising their full potential.
- Coach Education Sessions: The Foundation will deliver five bimonthly coach education sessions, equipping coaches with the knowledge and tools necessary to nurture talent effectively.
- Partnership Plaque: A partnership plaque will be awarded to each club, serving as a testament to their collaboration with the Bradford Bulls Foundation and proudly displayed within their premises.
- Free DBS Checks: Lorraine Clayton, our dedicated liaison officer, will facilitate free DBS checks for club personnel, ensuring the safety and welfare of all involved.
