We’re proud to support Chard Rugby Club Solar campaign.

The campaign is raising funds to install solar panels at Chard RFC, helping the club reduce energy costs and create a more sustainable future. This will allow more of the club’s resources to be invested back into rugby, the clubhouse and the wider community.

The campaign benefits from matched funding, so every donation and share can make an even bigger difference.

Please take a look, support the campaign if you can, and share it with your friends and family:

Help Chard Rugby Club raise the £25,000 needed to install solar panels on its clubhouse.
