🏉 Ahead of the England Rugby Red Roses coming to the CorpAcq Stadium this Saturday, we're delighted to be working with Manchester City Council and MCRactive to turn the momentum of the Women's 2025 Rugby World Cup into a participation pathway for women and girls across Manchester and Salford.

Together, we're helping to grow the women's game locally, inspire the next generation and create more T1 opportunities for women and girls to get active through rugby.

This WXV Global Series fixture against the Wallaroos is another important step in increasing the visibility of women's rugby and ensuring the legacy of the Women's Rugby World Cup continues to create opportunities across our communities.

Strong partnerships are vital to making this happen.

A fantastic afternoon celebrating the impact of our HeadStart, Sharks Together programme and the achievements of our participants 🙌

Delivered with support from , Sharks Together has brought older men from Sale West together to stay active, build friendships and support one another while living with long-term health conditions, including Parkinson’s

The celebration event was a chance to recognise the progress, connections and positive impact created through the programme, including improved wellbeing, confidence, reduced isolation and stronger social networks

Together, we’re Levelling the Field and helping people live healthier, longer lives and creating a stronger, more connected community
