We are very proud to support The Healing Hubs. A great organisation

We are preparing for National Volunteering Awareness Week next week, inviting our volunteers to a celebratory summer BBQ to mark the occasion.

We want to shine a light on the heart and soul of our work: our volunteers.

From the very beginning, volunteering has been the backbone of our charity. Our co-founders, patrons, and trustees, all dedicated volunteers, set the course, while many more give their time each week to make a tangible difference in our communities.

What our volunteers do at The Healing Hubs

• In-person project volunteers: Every week, volunteers gather in Aldershot and Alton, Hampshire, to support our Meeting Places, Warm Hubs, and community events.

• Befriending volunteers: Our telephone befriending team supports NHS referrals and operates our National Befriending helpline. Volunteers across the country offer friendly, supportive conversations, reduce isolation, and foster resilience.

• Fundraising and support volunteers: Volunteers help us raise essential funds, ensuring we can sustain and grow our services.

• Partners and supporters: A wide network of organisations and groups contribute to our mission, providing venues, resources, grants, and expertise that amplify our impact.

The people behind the scenes
• Co-founders, patrons, and Trustees: All volunteers who give time, guidance, and leadership to steer The Healing Hubs toward greater reach and effectiveness.

A heartfelt thank-you to our partners and funders

Impact we’re proud of (and the people who make it possible)

Thinking about trying rugby but not sure if it's for you?

Valid concerns we have already handled:

🏋️‍♀️Fitness levels
📈Experience
👍️Whether you'll be any good
🤗Whether people will be welcoming
💅Whether it'll ruin your nails

The things we genuinely cannot help you with:

👭Making friends for life — that'll just happen.
👋Leaving after one session — nobody ever does.
😜And having a blast? Completely out of our hands. Sorry.

Come see what all the fuss is about!

We won't be posting 'yet another boring AI generated recruitment post' like most clubs are posting at the moment.

Summer Touch - Wednesdays from 7pm
Training - Tuesdays & Thursdays. 7pm. Anstey Park.

See you there. 🔴⚫

Huge congratulations to our Men’s 1XV Captain Lewis on his selection for the Hampshire County squad 👏🏉

An incredible achievement and a true reflection of the hard work, commitment, and leadership he brings every single day. Everyone at the club is proud to see him recognised at county level — thoroughly deserved.

Go well, Lewis! 💪🔥

Joining us on the pitch for their first year, we’re delighted to welcome…

Alton RFC

"Alton Rugby Club is proud to be taking part in this year’s Alton Victorian Cricket – especially in what is a landmark centenary year for our club. For 100 years, we’ve been at the heart of the local sporting community, built on teamwork, resilience, and a strong social spirit – qualities we’ll be bringing with us onto the cricket field (even if our technique might raise a few eyebrows!).

We’re excited to be part of such a fantastic community event that brings people together, celebrates local tradition, and supports a brilliant cause. The chance to swap rugby balls for cricket bats, don some Victorian flair, and share a few laughs along the way is something we’re all looking forward to.

Our aspirations for the day? To embrace the occasion, entertain the crowd, uphold the club’s proud reputation (on and off the pitch), and play our part in making the event a huge success. If we can combine a bit of competitive spirit with plenty of fun and help raise as much as possible for Dogs for Autism, then we’ll consider it a job well done."

See you on Sunday 28 June on The Butts Green from 10am!

☀️🏉 A group of our U11s and U14s girls toured the weekend of the 25/26th April. The girls watched the Red Roses play Wales in Bristol and even joined in with training at Bath Juniors. A fantastic time was had by all!

A massive well done to U14 Poppy. She was invited to warm up with the Bath Junior u14 team, and then was invited to play in their match against Salisbury. She accepted the challenge and excelled. Making 5 tackles and scoring a try. Really well done Poppy! We’re very proud of you! Top stuff! 🌟
