Bristol Bears Foundation has been awarded a £30,000 grant from The Veterans’ Foundation to launch the Vets Rugby Hub, a three-year programme supporting veterans through weekly walking rugby sessions in South Bristol.
The funding, running until April 2029, will help provide opportunities for veterans to stay active, improve wellbeing, build social connections, and engage in a supportive community environment. The initiative includes weekly walking rugby sessions at St Bernadette’s Old Boys RFC and aligns with the Foundation’s goal of creating healthier and more connected communities through sport.
