Community Rugby
Introduction:
True to our positioning as the world's local bank, engaging communities is at the heart of our Lions sponsorship.
In the spirit of the British & Irish Lions, HSBC has created the first ever schools rugby programme that spans all four home unions. The HSBC Rugby Festivals is the world's largest initiative of its kind, reaching over 60,000 children.
Fronted by HSBC ambassador Jason Robinson, the HSBC Rugby Festivals provide the opportunity for more youngsters from emerging rugby schools to play the game within an environment where key values of sportsmanship and fair play are promoted. From news of the latest festivals, to exciting initiatives joining schools in the UK and South Africa, HSBC are proud to be playing a part in nurturing today's hopefuls into tomorrow's Lions.
