STAR Scheme

Meet Daley who joined @chewvalleyrfc as a mini and is the inspiration for STAR. He has gone on to captain the Colts, moved to SGS Filton for VIth form, and helps coach the new STAR Scheme recruits. STAR supports children and empowers them to become leaders in their own community.

"Its so green, its like going on holiday" ..a reflection on the view from the M5 southbound by one of our STAR families being a given a lift to a tournament. The STAR scheme enables kids and their families not just to get to training but also to get to all away matches.

@WaspsLegends Thank you @WaspsLegends for seeing the value in what the STAR scheme is trying to achieve. Your grant would make a material difference to the number of disadvantaged children we can support.

Introducing our third incredible Main Grant Nominee, @STAR_scheme. Meet Daley. His life has changed for the better thanks to STAR Scheme, as have the lives of numerous young people suffering, or that have suffered adverse childhood experiences, poverty or mental health. 1/2

Sometimes dreams really do come true! A phenomenal evening at Bristol Bears’ High Performance Centre for Chew Valley RFC STAR Scheme U16 player, James Stewart. A quick chat with Pat Lam too! James has been part of the STAR scheme since it began at Chew. #bristolbears

STAR coaches’ skills don’t stop at rugby! Ben Keedwell getting his tik-tok dance moves down at the club this week. Destiny our first STAR girl player is moving, so we said a big goodbye at the club. Thanks to @borispomroy from the Atlas Foundation for coming along too!

Just £50 could ensure that 100 girls have the sanitary packs they need for a month. We want to ensure that girls can continue participating in sport and education, with access to menstrual products and without shame and stigma. Please donate today: theatlascharity.org/donate/donate/…

Thank you to everyone who made it on Friday night. It was great to reflect on what has been achieved at CVRFC this season; there is so much more to come! The video sums it up nicely...vimeo.com/704859147?fbcl…
