I have the honour of leading the Wooden Spoon Leicestershire and Rutland Men's Vets Team at VetsFest25.

The tournament outcome relies on the team doing well in the rugby tournament but also on the sum we raise for the charity in the fundraising competition. This is where you can help…

The team are putting their ageing bodies on the line and asking you to make a donation to the charity so together we can help to improve the lives of local children and young people.

Rugby has the power to change lives and Wooden Spoon does that by funding life-changing projects across the UK and Ireland supporting children and young people who are disadvantaged, vulnerable or living with a disability.

Thank you in advance of your support,

Capt N Paddy Patterson
