Redditch schools try rugby

More than 70 school children from Redditch took part in the first of two special rugby takeover events at Birmingham & Solihull Bees Rugby Club.

The event is part of a two-year partnership launched last year, between Stoford and community sport provision specialist Community Group.

It aims to provide a programme of PE and sports opportunities for children in Redditch and Solihull, with a focus on rugby union and rugby values.

Rugby success

Stoford sponsored Solihull School Greyhounds, helping them to take part in the Dubai 7s rugby tournament held at The Sevens Stadium in Dubai, where they finished as finalists for the first time. Tree planting in Redditch

A diverse mix of trees has been planted close to the site of Redditch Gateway, a build-to-suit logistics and manufacturing scheme near J3 of the M42.

Nearly 30 trees now line Far Moor Lane in the Winyates Green area of Redditch. They include species such as English Oaks, Callery Pear and European Hornbeam.

Supporting Worcester Community Trust

Stoford supported Worcester Community Trust with a donation, which will help it to deliver activities and events for the local community, reducing isolation and improving wellbeing. The Trust runs 10 projects across Worcester and manages six community hubs. Stoford donates laptops to Worcestershire village school

Youngsters at a small village first school in Worcestershire are looking forward to new and improved IT lessons after Stoford donated new laptops.

Crowle C of E First School, in the village of Crowle, which has just 62 pupils from the ages of four to nine, was provided with funding from Stoford for the equipment.
