The achievements of York RLFC Foundation in 2024 were celebrated with a glittering occasion held at Hilton Hotel in York!
Players from the Learning Disabilities team and Wheelchair team were honoured on the evening with a series of awards.
The LDRL team has taken part in numerous festivals across the country throughout the year, while the Wheelchair team finished second in Championship East and progressed to the first round of the play offs.
This year, our Foundation has reached more than 24,000 people with a diverse range of programmes in schools and the community, with children from the age of five years old upwards from different backgrounds and with different abilities.
Our programmes include coach education, RugBees, and the Excel and Squires Boys Programme, with guidance from York RLFC's Head of Rugby, Andrew Henderson.
