RugbyForce

Created by RBS Group, RugbyForce is a community initiative that supports local rugby clubs in building for their future.

RBS RugbyForce

RugbyForce is run by our retail divisions – as Ulster Bank RugbyForce in Ireland, RBS RugbyForce in Scotland and NatWest RugbyForce in Wales and England - in conjunction with the relevant rugby union.

Since the initiative was launched in 2009, we have helped over 1,000 clubs at the grassroots of the game by providing them with financial support, online guidance and tools to help coordinate a community-wide effort to give their facilities a 'make-over'.

The initiative now also combines a club education programme which provides advice and tips to assist them in becoming more financial viable small businesses.

By supporting these clubs, which sit at the heart of so many communities across the UK and Ireland, we aim to make the communities which we live and work stronger.
