Tamworth Rugby Union Sporting Club standing together for families in 2026
Tamworth Rugby Union Sporting Club is proud to announce Ronald McDonald House Tamworth as its official charity partner for the 2026 season. This partnership reflects the TRUSC ongoing commitment to supporting Community based organisations to strengthen the bond between sport, community, and compassion.
Throughout the 2026 season, the club will work closely with Ronald McDonald House Tamworth to raise awareness and vital funds for the essential services they provide to families with seriously ill or injured children. Ronald McDonald House Tamworth gives families who must travel long distances for medical care a warm, compassionate home just steps away from Tamworth Hospital, ensuring they can stay close to their child during treatment. By uniting our efforts, we aim to make a meaningful difference where it matters most supporting families when they need it most.
This partnership is more than a fundraising initiative it is a commitment to standing beside families in their most challenging times. With the support of our players, volunteers, supporters, and the wider Tamworth community, we look forward to making a powerful and positive impact throughout the 2026 season.
