The whole squad believe in giving back to the local community so instead of the traditional sponsored fundraising activities done previously, they are going to be giving up their time to help with 3 local charities working with them on projects that benefit the local communities that use them. Any money raised will be put toward their Rugby tour in April next year.

We will be working with:

Over Rankeilour Walled Garden - Sunday the 27th November was when our boys got together with some heavy duty muscle and tools to clear all the brambles and undergrowth to clear an area to plant an orchard. It was really hard going but the boys, and some mums and dads worked hard to get it looking perfect and ready for the fruit trees.

Fife Coast & Countryside Trust - On Sunday, 30 October our U16's took part in our second community support activity.

The boys were split into 3 groups covering tree lupin removal, fence removal and beach clean, and step building. Each group was partnered up with a ranger from the Fife Coast & Countryside Trust.

The rangers were very impressed with the quality and volume of the work the boys got through! Our final community event will be held at Over Rankeilour Walled Garden,

Falkland Estate - The U16 team spent the last two days (17th and 18th of October) helping to regenerate the Chancefield trenches on Falkland Estate. The attached pictures show how they were packed with evil jaggy gorse bushes before the boys started working at clearing them. They worked extremely hard over the two days, the scratches and nettle stings all over their legs and arms are proof of that!.

They have earned every penny of the sponsorship they have received so far, and still have two more community cleanups/maintenance planned.

The next is the sand dunes in St Andrews, and the last one in Over Rankellior walled garden.

Your support via donation is gratefully appreciated.
