The 2023 Scottish Rugby Community Recognition Award winners from the Glasgow South region have today been announced following their presentation on Friday 3 March.
Community Club of the Season sponsored by Tennent’s Lager: Moffat RFC
In the 29 years since Moffat RFC was founded, the impact the club has had on the community to promote wellbeing and inclusion has been profound.
The club prides themselves on operating as a family orientated club fully integrated into the life and fabric of the community, both on and off the pitch.
The Dumfriesshire-based club now deliver rugby for men, women, girls and boys, with their volunteer base working tirelessly to ensure that every player’s needs are met, particularly those in the youth and mini section.
The club has most recently started to work with local schools, showcasing the power of rugby for mental and physical wellbeing, and inclusion. Their work to engage the schools has led to the development of a rugby programme at Moffat Academy and Lockerbie Academy, and now section rugby is being offered at each year group for girls and boys.
Off the pitch, Moffat have been engaged in many community initiatives including food banks drives and making contributions to local events and charitable organisations, including an East egg hunt, Santa’s Grotto and Halloween Drive
