Delivering Rugby to our community
Pumas in the Community......
The Pumas have always been about being at the heart of the community. We have expanded our range of rugby teams to suit the young and not so young who wish to take up the sport of rugby.
The Kirsty Louise Streek Foundation is a grant giving foundation. We specifically raise money to grant to organisations supporting Multiple Sclerosis, Cancer and Sarcoma. We also provide grants for individuals with Cancer who need support with better quality wigs, wig styling, hair care and beauty treatment, to ensure Cancer patients have the confidence to enjoy their lives.
We are also here to put people in touch with those who can help Cancer patients get the support they need to feel confident to get out and have fun!
Why? Because we know how much support these illnesses require and we want to keep giving the best opportunities for those living life with Cancer or Multiple Sclerosis. We saw the confidence Kirsty had gained from keeping her hair during Chemo and having it looked after.
The Alex Wardle Foundation Fund was set up in memory of Alex Wardle, who passed away in March 2016, aged 23, from Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome (SADS).
Every week in the UK, at least 12 young people die of undiagnosed heart conditions SADS is caused by a disturbance in the heart’s rhythm, of which there are many causes, despite the person not having any physical heart disease.
Alex played for the Pumas from a young age. He was a medical student, working in research, and his family wanted to continue his legacy by helping to further understand SADS.
The Foundation raises funds to supply life-saving community defibrillators and run heart screening events.
