Bunnings Rugby Assist

Applications are now open for Bunnings Rugby Assist

Bunnings knows the important role local rugby clubs play in bringing communities together and over the past four years they have worked shoulder-to-shoulder with clubs from across the country who are making a positive difference to their local rugby community.

This year, Bunnings will continue to help shine a brighter light on rugby clubs who are making a meaningful impact in their local community. Ten clubs will be selected to each receive $30,000 worth of Bunnings products and materials and labour support to upgrade their club.

Support from Bunnings Rugby Assist will help clubs to build on the service they provide for their rugby community – by helping them to improve, upgrade or renovate their facilities to enhance the support they provide throughout the season.

Facility upgrades could include:

Upgrading the kitchen, lounge or outdoor areas to optimise club hosting
Ensuring clubs are inclusive and accessible for all by creating female changing rooms or disability access
Providing a safe play zone for tamariki so that families with young children feel supported and welcome
Security systems and outdoor lighting so that club members feel safe and secure to use the facilities
