 OFFICIALS and players at Clifton RFC are donating more than 100 shirts to the LV=SOS Kit Aid (KA) programme, to help provide developing players around the world with much-needed sports equipment. The region’s rugby clubs have been working with KA for the past two seasons to make sure that kit, which would otherwise be discarded, goes to help developing rugby clubs in the world’s impoverished regions. Both the Lord Taveners and the International Rugby Board (IRB) are involved in the programme, which is now sponsored by LV (Liverpool Victoria). A KA spokesman said: “It’s the original win-win situation. Nobody in the UK wants the kit, so we help collect it because it is so badly needed by youngsters in developing rugby nations. Plus it helps protect our environment, if we don’t throw away badly-needed kit into scarce UK landfill sites.” A Clifton spokesman added: “Clifton Rugby have known of Kit Aids’ work for some time and we're keen to get involved. We are committed to a long partnership, and hope lots other rugby and cricket clubs will follow our lead. Joint Chairman, Steve White, went on: “Clifton hope this will be just the beginning of a long partnership with LV=SOS KIT AID. We also hope to be able to engage a good many of our local businesses and schools, that are already involved with our senior and junior rugby sections, to encourage them to promote numerous 'Kit Drives' which will support the great work this charity undertakes." |
