7 SQN RAFP have decided to organise a charity event which encompasses passing a rugby ball around for 24 hours. The idea behind the event itself is to get people communicating whilst tackling the stigma around mental health and raising money for charity.

RAF Brize Norton / ASF - Rugby for Heroes

RAF Wittering / 7 TPF - Scotty's Little Soldiers

RAF Benson - Looseheadz

RAF Odiham / RAF Northolt - Winstons Wish

The event itself is starting at 1600 hrs on 29th Mar and continuing until 1600 hrs 30th Mar. Taking place on the rugby pitches at RAF Brize Norton.
