Castle Community Bank has been proudly supporting Leith Rugby Youth Development since September 2023. Recently our Chief Executive Adrian Sargent went along to a practice day down at Leith Academy playing fields to see our sponsorship in action.

Leith Rugby Junior Convenor Alex Bowman and Treasurer Russell Duncan gave him a warm welcome and presented Adrian with a framed sponsored Leith Hawks shirt to say thank you for the community investment.

Adrian said:

We’re really pleased to be able to invest in our community through Leith Rugby Youth Development shirt sponsorship. This is just one of the ways we can make difference in our community. Social impact like this is important to both us and our members.

Alex said:

It’s great to have Castle Community Bank as a local supporter and sponsor. Leith Rugby develops youth rugby in Leith and encourages local boys and girls to take up sport and embrace the associated health and wellbeing benefits. We rely on community sponsorship to pay for everything from kits to pitch hire.

Leith Rugby always need new volunteers to help around the club with various on and off field pursuits. From key roles on the committee that will help to move the club forward to the jobs that may only take an hour or 2 every month or year that help to lighten the load on existing volunteers.
