Ealing Trailfinders are thrilled to announce that High Wycombe RUFC will be the first Community Partner Club Programme member.

The initiative means High Wycombe RUFC will receive support in their community programme, coaching visits, rugby camps and ticketing initiatives. Members of the club will be able to earn cash back on tickets to Ealing Trailfinders games, which the club can then use to reinvest.

High Wycombe RUFC has a thriving minis and youth membership. As a partner club, they will be able to reinvest the funds in growing the game at a youth level, which is something that Ealing Trailfinders is very passionate about.

We know the programme will help grow the community game by giving kids access to some of the best rugby in England and developing their training facilities.

Ian Isham, Head of the Community Department said: “We are delighted to partner with High Wycombe RUFC as part of our new partner club programme. These connections are a key element of our community initiatives, allowing us to highlight the fantastic work happening in grassroots rugby while providing support to help their continued growth.

“Every club has its unique strengths and challenges, and by collaborating closely, we can tailor our approach to create mutually beneficial opportunities. In working with Michael Fradgley, Mini & Junior Chairman at High Wycombe RUFC and learning about his dedication to the club, it’s evident that the club is proactive in its development.

“If we can contribute in any way to their progress, it’s something we take great pride in. We look forward to a successful partnership with High Wycombe RUFC this season and into the future.”

Michael Fradgley, Mini & Junior Chairman of High Wycombe RFC said: “I’m delighted that our club is going to be building a partnership with Ealing Trailfinders. Ealing Trailfinders continue to be on an exciting journey and for us to be aligned to this brings many benefits to our club and our young players.

“In particular I’m excited by the opportunities to improve coach education and to further enhance our school holiday camps with input from Ealing players and coaches. I already know that our players and parents will love the opportunity to “take over” on one of your match days, see high quality rugby in action and build memories as they take part in the match day activities.

I look forward to seeing what this fabulous opportunity brings and to developing the relationship as we continue to grow the minis and juniors section at HWRUFC.”

As part of our partnership, we are pleased to announce that Ealing Trailfinders Community Team will be running a camp at High Wycombe RFC during the February half-term.
