So, Ealing donated and gathered a truck full of food for local food banks. I think I saw some parcels being done by Cov, so what are other teams up to?

From what I’ve seen it appears Blues have done/helped with 3 food bank collections/deliveries this season.

I'm sure very many clubs have done a lot for charity but it shouldn't be a competition and I'm sure they don't do it to the publicity.

Well done to them all.

Is that honestly how you see this thread Kimbo? I simply thought it would be nice to call out the good works being done by various clubs at this time of year, and you label it 'Willy-waving'? I have just about had enough of these forums. There is more bitter here than in a Tetley's Brewery.

Bitter? Jeez.
If you think 'my club is better than your club' posts are ok, then carry on.
Merry Christmas.

Good to see sports clubs do community stuff.

Years ago it was visit local Childrens Hospital Wards, now it’s Food Banks.

I hope they still do Hospital or Hospice visits.
The older I get, the more the RFU leave me confused.

Hull Ionians have a Presidents Day each season which is usually held on the last home match before Xmas. This involves an Xmas lunch, auction and raffle etc. The Club President chooses the charity each year and, we share the profits of the day with said Charity. This season it was the local branch of 'Parkinsons UK' who benefitted by over £2k.

If that is "Willy waving" Kimbo, please consider my private parts well and trully waved in your general direction and, proud to do so.

Well done to all the grassroots Clubs who engage with the local community and help to provide for the less fortunate. Merry Xmas everyone.
