We're proud to sponsor London's fantastic Clapham Feelers LGBT+ touch rugby team and were very impressed to see pictures of them braving a muddy, wet training session last weekend. Not only are they the best-dressed players (with our BTV logo and that of our portfolio company Feel - Wellness, Reimagined on their shirts) - they're the most inspiring and dedicated too! #LGBTsport #ClaphamFeelers #CorporateSponsor
