Staff and players from Nottingham Rugby joined community partners Hall-Fast, of Mansfield, for their annual Christmas visit to Fountaindale School last week.

Fountaindale is a specialist SEN school situated in Mansfield, which offers an inclusive education for pupils aged 3 to 19, who have complex physical and sensory needs.

Morgan Eames and Joe Cobden were on hand to help community coach Josh Salathiel with some coaching and a game of rugby in the school’s sports hall before donated Christmas gifts were handed out to pupils.

Hall-Fast have a long-standing partnership with Fountaindale and have raised over £60,000 to date, through various fundraising events, to help improve facilities at the school.

Nottingham Rugby in the Community also provides regular coaching sessions for the children at the school, thanks to their partnership with Malcom Hall’s Mansfield-based industrial supplies firm.
