Nisa Local Longsand Parade in St Neots, a convenience store owned and operated by TYS Retail LTD, has donated £800 to St Neots Rugby Club through Nisa's Making a Difference Locally (MADL) charity.

The donation will be used to purchase new rugby kits for the club's youth teams.

St Neots Rugby Club is a community-based club that has been in existence for over 100 years. The club offers rugby platforms for players of all ages and abilities.

“TYS Retail is proud to support St Neots Rugby Club once again,” said area manager Leon Swanwick. “The club plays a valuable role in giving young people in our community the chance to engage in rugby, and we hope our contribution will help it continue to thrive and expand.”

Phil Yates, president of St Neots Rugby Club, said: “We’re extremely thankful to Nisa Local for their generous donation. The funds will go towards purchasing new kits for our youth teams, replacing the old, worn kits that no longer reflect the quality of rugby we aim to deliver. The new kits will not only instil pride in our players but also help attract new talent to the club.”

“With this support, we’re thrilled to enhance our youth development programs,” Yates continued. “We believe rugby is an excellent sport for young people, and we want to make it accessible to everyone who wants to participate.”
