As part of Hunslet RLFCβs aim of expanding its local community reach, we are proud to announce a partnership with Sue Ryder Wheatfields Hospice for a special edition 2019 warm up top.
The Wheatfields Hospice warm up top will be worn by all players during the pre-match warm up for all league and cup games in 2019 starting with the 2019 Harry Jepson Memorial Cup game against Leeds Rhinos.
Pride of place on the front of the warm up tops will be βThe Sue Ryder Wheatfieldsβ logo, with the back of the shirt open for sponsorship. All sponsorship contributions will, after costs be donated to the Hospice.
The Hunslet backroom staff comprising of Kit Manager Trevor Brown and Hunslet TVβs Scott Johnson came up with the idea of producing a charity warm up top.
Trevor commented βAs myself and Scott were discussing 2019 kit needs, we came up with the idea of producing a charity warm up top.
βWith my family been affected by Cancer, and finding out Scottβs family has also been affected in the same way, we wanted to have a charity that was close to our hearts on the top.
βScott then suggested Wheatfields Hospice as they had helped his family through difficult times, and the decision was made for the inaugural 2019 charity to be Wheatfields Hospiceβ
On the partnership with Wheatfields Senior Hospice FundraiserΒ Paula Gunaria had to say βWe are incredibly grateful for the support of the local community.
βSue Ryder Wheatfields Hospice has been at the heart of the community for 40 years caring for thousands of patients living with complex life-limiting conditions.
βWhen someone has been given a life-changing diagnosis or is bereaved, their world is turned upside-down.
βWe put a lot of thought and care onto helping people live the best life they possibly can but we could not continue to provide expert hospice care without the support of local institutions like Hunslet RLFC.β
