Projects we have previously supported
Bury St Edmunds Rugby Club's walking rugby initiative, was supported with a £5,000 grant in 2025.
Walking rugby is designed to be inclusive and accessible for adults of all ages, physical abilities and genders. Whether you’re recovering from injury, retired from playing, or completely new to the game, walking rugby offers a supportive and fun way to get involved.
Participants say the benefits go far beyond the game itself. One told us, “It’s been such a help for me mentally as well as physically,” while another commented, “I am retired and this gives me something to look forward to each week.”
When speaking about the support from Havebury, participants shared just how much it has meant:“I am so grateful to Havebury for supporting our walking rugby, it means so much to us.” Read more here.
