On October 29, members of the club paid a visit to the Mental Health Centre and handed over several bags of clothes and shoes donated by rugby players and their relatives.

Leonard Matthews, Jacqueline De Freitas and Sophie Goddard chatted with a few patients and met with staff nurse Stevens, from Chateaubelair.

The centre currently houses 137 male and 52 female patients.

A release from the rugby club said this is just one way the club is helping the less fortunate in the community. The release said the club has plans for “beach cleans, building things for the less fortunate, fund-raising events, helping local churches and much more.”
