London Welsh RFC announce new partnership with Tenovus Cancer Care

We are delighted to announce a new partnership with London Welsh Rugby Club. This collaboration will unite both organisations in a shared mission to raise vital funds and awareness to support people affected by cancer throughout Wales and beyond.

Through this partnership, Tenovus Cancer Care will work closely with London Welsh to train community champions who will deliver awareness talks and presentations to those connected to the rugby club. These talks will highlight the signs and symptoms of cancer, ensuring players and supporters are well-informed and have access to the charity’s services, available both within and outside of Wales.

In addition, the club will actively engage its players and fans in the club's fundraising efforts throughout the year. This will include collections, raffles, fitness challenges, and various events designed to support our vital work.

London Welsh RFC is a community-focused rugby club based in Richmond, London. The club prides itself on being a welcoming and inclusive community for both Welsh exiles and local residents. Run by dedicated volunteers, it aims to provide a professional minded environment for players of all levels, offering high-quality coaching and a strong emphasis on player welfare and support.

I am delighted to develop a partnership between our great club and Tenovus Cancer Care, a highly respected, Welsh based cancer support organisation. As a Board, we are constantly looking for new ways to support our thriving rugby community.

Being able to train members to bring help and emotional support offering practical advice to those affected by cancer whilst being able to capitalise upon the range of support services offered will bring a huge benefit to supporters and everyone associated with our club - not only in London but friends and relatives in Wales as well. We look forward to a long and mutually rewarding relationship.”

Haydn Parry, Vice Chair of London Welsh

We are so proud to be partnering with London Welsh RFC and to bring awareness of our services to the club’s supporters. This is a great opportunity to help us continue to develop our awareness-raising and fundraising efforts beyond Wales.

We look forward to the positive impact this partnership will have and invite all London Welsh supporters to get involved in our initiatives throughout the year. Together, we can make a difference to the lives of people affected by cancer.”
