Leith Rugby are excited to announce that we are one of eight clubs to have been awarded Star Club status by RBS RugbyForce who are supporting our Community Week with both funding, and support from the national playing squad.

Community Week will run from the 4th - 10th August with the aim of showing our club is #LOUDESTANDPROUDEST! We will have various initiatives taking place, such as a food bank collection, litter pick around Leith and more to be confirmed in the coming fortnight. We will even be taking in some Japanese culture in preparation for the Rugby World Cup! All of this activity will seek to further engage the club with the local community, and promote Scotland's upcoming World Cup campaign.

Saturday 10th August will be an Open Day at the club, involving a host of activities, topped off by our 1st XV facing Linlithgow RFC K.O @ 2PM. There will be loads on offer such as Youth Rugby, Touch Rugby, rugby assault course, BBQ and DJ.

Prior to that, we'll be undertaking a host of activities this week to support and engage with our local community, including:

- Leith Hawks Youth Rugby Summer Camp running Monday-Friday,
- Tartan Touch sessions Monday 5th (7pm) and Saturday 10th (12.30pm)
- Collections for Edinburgh Food Project on Tuesdsay 6th and Saturday 10th; and Socks For The Street
- Litter Pick, supported by Leithers Don't Litter, Saturday August 10th

Finally - don't miss our Open Day on Saturday, from 11am!
