Nathan Hand, senior member and current U14s coach, and rugby team mate Alden Marshall are taking on an ultra-running challenge and attempting to run 10k every day for the 28 days of February to help raise funds for the first phase building works for new disabled facilities at the club house. The challenge starts on Wednesday 1st February.

Stewarts and Lloyds (Corby) RFC proudly boasts to be “a club that is a community orientated multi-functional facility providing a safe environment in which to enjoy rugby football and other activities”. The Club’s prestigious history is well documented and symbolises the determination and commitment of its volunteers in providing a community facility for over 75 years; making Stewarts and Lloyds (Corby) RFC the most successful rugby football club in the town.

The Club strives for continuous improvement on and off the field and has enjoyed recent success in securing funds to successfully complete a total refurbishment of our social space and kitchen areas as phase 1-3 of our 5 year improvement plan.

Our next endeavour is to improve and extend our accessibility to the wider community. We are acutely aware of an ageing population and the need to make our club fully accessible to the able and less-bodied population. Our proposal is to extend the clubhouse incorporating a disabled lift and disabled toilet. This will also create space for female changing facilities. A massive undertaking that will take a co-ordinated fundraising challenge by the membership and its commercial partners. Even in these bleak unprecedented times our dedicated volunteer members are rising to the challenge.

Our next steps on our fundraising journey is the 10K A DAY which is an organised challenge with all funds raised going directly first phase building works for new disabled facilities.
