ORPINGTON
RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB has traditionally
raised funds to help worthy causes,
and each year the amount raised is increasing.
2001 saw our nominated charity - ‘Farnborough
Hospital Special Care Baby Unit’
receive total donations reach over £10,000.
The success of our fund raising has
prompted the launch of a new scheme
called ‘ Partners in Sport’.
This will be a fund that is designed
to encourage participation in sport
and to provide the much-needed resources
to help develop skills.
It is our goal to help the disadvantaged,
youth and disabled sports within our
community and invite qualifying parties
to apply for a share of this fund, to
provide much-needed facilities, kit
& equipment etc.

London Borough of Bromley
This is a fantastic example of how sport can
benefit the people of the Bromley Borough,
bringing clubs and communities together. The
development of local sports clubs to work
closer with the community is a key element
in Bromley's Sports Strategy - Building Partnerships
Through Sport. It demonstrates how voluntary
sector sport can be used to contribute to
the quality of life of the local population.
Not only at an individual level, through the
building of social and team skills, but also
in allowing new developments to flourish through
financial opportunity offered by this funding
scheme. We would like to wish Orpington Rugby
Club every success in their new Sports Fund.” |

County Rugby Football Union
On behalf of the Kent County RFU Committee
and as President of the County, I am extremely
happy to offer Orpington RFC, our sincere
congratulations on organising what will be
their Real Ale Festival and the launch of
the Orpington RFC Sports Initiative.
This Club is, I believe, the first in Kent
to launch such a scheme, which will be used
to encourage participation in all sport and
provide a resource to advance and develop
the skills of participants. They are to be
commended on their intention to invite, disabled
persons, along with other clubs and orgainisations
to apply for funding which will be used to
provide essential equipment, coaching and
other needs with the aim of enhancing personal
skills, improving local communities and confidence
in those fortunate to benefit, regardless
of their age, gender or ethnic background.
The more support that Orpington RFC receives
from the generosity of sponsors (and it would
be great to receive this), whether large from
public-spirited companies or little from individuals,
the more support they in turn will be able
to give to others. Orpington RFC are a junior
club but unlike many other sports clubs, who
have much larger resources than themselves,
they are outward looking and are setting an
excellent example to other clubs through not
only seeking the advancement of their own
club and sport.
Congratulations to Orpington RFC for their
intention to offer financial support to others
with such generosity. The game of Rugby in
general and the Kent RFU in particular applauds
this venture and wish them every success in
this initiative and we hope that they, as
a club, achieve success both on and off the
field. |
