Otley Rugby Club receives £5,000 donation from Persimmon Homes
Otley Rugby Club has received a £5,000 donation. The club secured the funding from Persimmon Homes after applying to the housebuilder's Community Champions initiative. Representatives from the club were given the cheque by Persimmon's West Yorkshire managing director at Otley's match against Harrogate. The money will help with running costs for all teams, from junior to senior level. Paul Mackie, chairman of the club, said: "Active volunteers in any club are an essential ingredient as costs spiral across all aspects of the game - and without our many volunteers our club, like many, would not be able to continue. "Our vision is to be a welcoming, inclusive, and successful family rugby club in the heart of Otley's community, and this donation helps contribute to that goal." Christopher Hull, managing director for Persimmon West Yorkshire, said: "We're delighted to be able to support Otley Rugby Club in this way and help the club continue to play such a vital role in the local community."
