Leading Northern property firm, Bradley Hall, has announced it is sponsoring an upcoming Rugby Tour to South Africa in its latest community project.
Newcastle School for Boys, which is based at sites across Gosforth, is preparing for its upcoming Senior Rugby Tour to South Africa in 2025. Bradley Hall has announced it will sponsor the tour through the purchase of Samurai Club Rugby balls to be used throughout the tour.
The balls are made by specialist sports company, Samurai, who create custom sportswear for teams across the world, including Leicester Tigers and Emirates Dubai 7s.
The school, which was formed in 2005 following the amalgamation of Ascham House and Newlands School, is one of the leading independent schools in the North East and is the only boys-only school in the region.
The various rugby teams at the school consistently perform at regional and national levels and the Sport department has a strong relationship with Premiership team Newcastle Falcons.
Neil Hart, Chief Executive of Bradley Hall, said: “Bradley Hall has a long-running tradition of supporting grassroots sport and school teams since our establishment over 35 years ago.
“The opportunity to visit South Africa and take part in games against local sides will be fantastic for the boys and is a reflection of the high-quality extra curricular events available at the school.
“I wish the boys the very best on their tour and look forward to seeing the results of their games.”
The tour is a popular event in the school calendar and is set to take place next summer, with boys from across the Senior School taking part in games against local schools and visiting sites such as Table Mountain and a Safari.
Lee Hogarth, Head of Sport, commented on the sponsorship: “We are very grateful to Bradley Hall for sponsoring the balls for our South Africa Tour. This is a highly anticipated event for many of our boys and will be a memorable experience for the whole cohort.”
Bradley Hall, which has offices in Newcastle, Gosforth, Durham, Morpeth, Alnwick, Sunderland, Tees Valley and Leeds, sponsors a variety of sports teams each year and are keen to support grassroots sport in the North East and Yorkshire.
The firm’s annual Festive Fundraiser is part of Bradley Hall’s wider corporate and social responsibility plans and has contributed to the £360,000 the company has raised for local charities, sports team and community groups over the last seven years.
