Teachers Rugby Football Club are spreading Christmas cheer by donating to families struggling this holiday season.

The drive was spearheaded by men’s Captain Aldo Campbell and saw club members raise funds for the Family Centre.

Mr Campbell, inspired by a similar programme run by his colleagues at Flying Colours, sought help from the TRFC community to ensure other families would have an enjoyable holiday season.

He said: “Every year, Flying Colours donates hampers to the Family Center and they are always positively received.

“The Family Centre plays a big role in Bermuda rugby through the Beyond Rugby programme.

“Watching our small staff pull these hampers together, encouraged me to reach out to the 40 plus members of TRFC to appeal to their generosity.”

The club put together Christmas hampers that included tooth brushes from Happy Valley Dental, non-perishable goods and a gift card to the Market Place.

Holiday flyers donated by The ColourLab, ensured that the hampers were festively packaged and delivered to the Family Centre in time for the 2017 holiday season.

Club president Brian Desmond added: “It’s wonderful to see our younger players showing compassion towards the local community.

“Aldo did an outstanding job in reaching out to the club, who in turn were more than willing to donate to the cause.

“The Family Centre are extremely important to the rugby community and we are elated to be able to make a positive impact upon their holiday celebrations.”
