SSE is proud to be an Official Community Partner of the Rugby Football Union. The three year partnership will see SSE investing significantly to support community rugby in England, as well as taking on title sponsorship of the National and Divisional Leagues. The RFU partnership is a new sponsorship venture for SSE, demonstrating a real focus on providing tangible rewards for the rugby communities in which they operate.

To help shape our commitment to English rugby, we asked all members of local rugby clubs throughout England to have their say on the resources and facilities that will benefit them most by taking part in an online survey. Based on their feedback, we have created SSErugby.com, a new and exciting rewards programme designed to give rugby clubs in England much needed resources to help them both on and off the field.

SSErugby.com is dedicated to grassroots rugby clubs in England, giving them support to make their lives that little bit better, offering unique insight into the rugby world from ambassadors such as Tom Croft and Danny Grewcock and one lucky club will get to win £10,000 of SSE energy credits.

Whether a player, coach, barman or even a casual supporter, all users have to do is register to the site and assign themselves to their local club to start benefiting from the following:

• Annual Energy Reward – Opportunity to enter your local rugby club to win an incredible £10,000 worth of SSE energy credits or an energy makeover worth up to £8,000.
• Monthly Club Rewards – Exciting rewards and prizes to be won every month, from training sessions with ambassadors to essential kit and training equipment.
• Ambassadors – Tom Croft, Danny Grewcock and John Bentley will be sharing regular blogs and videos around their thoughts on community rugby, as well as offering coaching tips and running training sessions at amateur clubs.
• Community News – Exclusive news stories from the heart of the grassroots game, and regular video blogs and coaching tips from featured Community Rugby Coaches (CRCs) across England.

Members that sign up now can take part in an exciting opportunity to win a motivational team talk from legend John “Bentos” Bentley for the day at their club. Whether the team talk is good, bad or just damn right ugly, Bentos will whip the team into shape and inspire them for their next upcoming league fixture. All entrants have to do is register at SSErugby.com and send in a video of their own team captain delivering a motivational team talk.
