Southwark Tigers need your outgrown boots

We are delighted to be continuing our association with Southwark Tigers Rugby Club for another season, a club which is run by an inspirational team of volunteers and provides rugby for kids growing up in some of the most deprived areas of the capital.

They are always in need of boots/trainers for their kids who are unable to afford to buy their own so please do remember that they will be delighted to provide a good home for any such out-grown footwear.

There will be a collection point outside the office at the ground this Sunday morning. Thank you in advance.

This Sunday there will also be a pop-up shop for the Minis located next to the boot collection outside the office which will operate from 9am-11am.

It will kindly be manned by volunteers and items for sale include shirts, shorts, socks, contact tops, hoodies, beanies, bobble hats, water bottles & boot bags.
