Barratt cements commitment to local rugby club

Financial support from Barratt Homes is helping lay firm foundations of vital grass roots rugby within the local community.

Ivybridge Rugby Football Club are benefitting from renewed sponsorship from Barratt, thanks to the housebuilder’s continuing commitment to forge strong links within the area.

“We are thrilled to be able to maintain our partnership with this important local sports resource,” said Barratt sales director, Sara Parker. “We are helping to create a new community, by building new homes at our nearby Lucerne Fields development, so it’s only fitting that we cement our relationship with those living in and around Ivybridge.

“The team here at Barratt is delighted to be involved with Ivybridge RFC, and we are all very much looking forward to the club’s progress over the coming season.”

Barratt is providing funds to pay for Mini/Junior playing kit that will ensure that the youngsters representing the club are smart and professional looking and an advertising board that will support the club financially year on year.

Jim Burns, chairman for Ivybridge Rugby Football Club, added: “It is fantastic for a national company to be supporting grass roots rugby and investing in the health and fitness of the young generation.”
