Our group fundraises as much as possible but we do also rely on other peoples’ donations and fundraising on our behalf.
So, come along and meet us. If we do not run something that you would like to get involved in talk to us as well! If you want to know more e-mail me at Chair@parkinsons-rugby.org.uk
