RFU Families Project Restarts this April
Blues Foundation and Bedford Blues Community are pleased to announce that the successful RFU Families Project – held between lockdowns last year – is set to resume from Monday 19th April until the summer holidays.
Last October, the Families Fund project was officially launched for the first time; initially set to run weekly for a year before another COVID lockdown caused an abrupt halt to proceedings towards the end of 2020.
Recently, the UK government outlined their COVID return roadmap and contained within is a positive Step 2 commencing April 12th, which will allow outdoor activities akin to the Families Fund to return.
We have taken the decision to slightly the delay the restart until a week after this date and will resume activation on Monday 19th April at Bedford Athletic RFC, home of Bedford Junior Blues (MK41 8QA). Each session will last for two hours and will run from 6pm – 8pm every Monday evening.
Selected as one of 12 places by England Rugby to use rugby and multi-sport to support families get active and create regular positive habits around physical activity and mental wellbeing.
Every session is completely FREE with expert coaching delivered by the Bedford Blues Community team.
