Rugby Recycled Partner with Star* Scheme

We are thrilled to announce a groundbreaking partnership between the star* scheme and Rugby Recycled!  Together, we’re making a difference in the lives of young rugby players across the UK. 

The mission of Star* scheme, founded in December 2020 at Chew Valley Rugby Club, is to make a material difference in the lives of young people and their families who have multiple adverse childhood/community experiences (ACEs) or mental health issues.

Sian and Kelly from the star* scheme had the pleasure of meeting Gareth Simpson, the founder of Rugby Recycled, when Saracens played Bristol Bears. The previous day, Sian and Christian collected a massive donation of boots, t-shirts and sports bras for star*, ready to distribute across the star* network. 

Our partnership has already seen amazing results, including donations to four rugby clubs in the South West, like North Bristol Girls Rugby Club and Avonmouth RFC where we passed on sports bras. 

With this collaboration, we aim to ensure every young player has the gear they need to pursue their passion and develop their skills. Thank you to everyone who has supported us on this journey. Together, we are stronger!
