The £1,000 donation from UKSE’s Community Fund will support the creation of a new play area at the club’s ground, where dual-code rugby star Regan Grace first learned the game. The initiative is part of the club’s wider effort to strengthen its junior section and improve the match-day experience for local families.
“This is a project we’ve been wanting to push ahead with for some time,” said Ashley Jones, coach of the junior rugby section. “We’re very grateful to UKSE for their support.”
The Quins currently run three youth teams — Under 7s, Under 10s and Under 13s — and have long been a launchpad for Welsh rugby talent. In addition to Grace, who has played for St Helens and Cardiff Rugby, the club has helped develop internationals Richard Hibberd and James Hook.
UKSE’s Howard Thompson, Regional Executive for Wales, said the donation reflects the company’s commitment to supporting grassroots sport and community wellbeing.
“Local rugby clubs are vital to the wellbeing of the community,” he said. “This type of project is exactly why we established our Community Fund — to support initiatives across Neath Port Talbot and South Wales.”
More information about UKSE’s community support programmes is available on their official website.
