At Haywards Heath Rugby Club in Kent, employees from Grundfos Water Mill Ltd. have been involved with the local sports club at Whitemans Green for over 30 years, with 4 colleagues members since childhood. In this time many have played, coached, volunteered or taken active participation in the social activities run by the club. The run-down old Clubhouse is no longer fit for purpose and lacks inclusive facilities, discriminating against girls, women and people with disabilities.
The future building will be accessible, encouraging wider participation in sport and use of the facilities especially amongst girls, women and the disabled. Community outreach activities to reach new audiences, such men’s wellbeing seminars and local school engagement, will be publicised and expanded.
