assisting community clubs to improve the provision of grassroots rugby league

Engage Mutual, Rugby League Cares and The RFL Facilities Trust have come together to help clubs organise an action event where members, supporters, friends and family can turn up and collectively work on renovations and improvements to current club facilities.

in a nutshell..

No matter what the scale or age of your RL facilities there are always plenty of jobs to be done.

All we are trying to do is lend a helping hand to the good game by offering an incentivised solution as to how all community clubs can affordably make improvements.

registering your club

Registration is now open and here's a few reasons why clubs choose to sign up:

• To help create an affordable taskforce to work on club facilities in our tough financial times

• For the opportunity for members and supporters to get more involved in 'behind the scenes' club activities

• For the chance for members of all ages and at different levels of participation to work together for their club

• To improve the club environment whilst increasing the pride in the club for those that take part 

• For the chance to win cash rewards for your club

how can you help?

Talk to other club members and find out if they know about the engage with your club opportunity and whether it is an event you'd like to facilitate this summer.

Did your club take part last year? If so, who organised it and how can you take part to make it bigger and more impactful this year? (The vast majority of clubs that took part last year said they would be repeating the opportunity in 2013.)

Follow us on twitter or facebook to make sure you keep right up to date with the initiative as we progress throughout the year.
