Chadwick Lawrence Sponsors Aspire Charity Tag Rugby Day at Headingley Stadium

Chadwick Lawrence recently enjoyed the continuation of our longstanding support of Aspire and Leeds Rhinos Foundation, by sponsoring and volunteering at their annual tag rugby event at Headingley Stadium, on Tuesday 16th July.  

The event, now in its 4th year, after a brief hiatus due to the pandemic, brought together eight teams from across Leeds. This year’s tag rugby event featured eight teams, each consisting of 10 participants. The mixed-ability teams took part in the tag rugby tournament, including 20 colleagues from the Yorkshire-based legal firm. Leeds Rhinos mascot Ronnie the Rhino also made an appearance to cheer the teams on, adding an extra element of excitement to the day.

Former professional rugby league player, and current Leeds Rhinos assistant coach, Jamie Jones-Buchanan was also on hand to present the winning team with their medals.

Aspire Community Benefit Society supports people with learning disabilities, through the provision of high-quality care and support services, with a commitment to enhancing their customers’ quality of life.

Aspire’s services include respite care, a crisis service, and a supported living service which offers full-time supported living facilities. They also offer day services, allowing individuals living at home to engage in safe, healthy, and purposeful daytime activities such as the tag rugby event.

Chadwick Lawrence and Aspire have a shared commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of individuals and are connected via Sam Pawson, who is both a partner at Chadwick Lawrence and a non-executive director at Aspire.

Pawson comments: “It was brilliant to once again sponsor this joyful and rewarding event, helping Aspire to continue their vital provision of care and support services to adults with learning disabilities. This event is one of our favourites on the calendar at Chadwick Lawrence, and it was great to see so many people joining together and having fun.”
