2Excel Aviation has made a donation from its Community Fund to STAMFORD RUGBY UNION FOOTBALL CLUB LIMITED towards the construction of a new clubhouse that aspires to become a hub for local sports and recreation.
The club wants to replace its current outdated facility with a modern, purpose built one to provide a venue for the local community that can offer somewhere fit for potential uses beyond rugby alone.
Chris Norton, Director and Co-founder of 2Excel Aviation, said: “As an employee-owned business, building value for all our stakeholders is not just monetary.
“Our organisation’s Social Value approach commits us to enhance the experience of everyone and everything our business interacts with, including people, other businesses, suppliers, local communities, and the environment.
“Through our Community Fund we are able to provide Stamford RUFC with a donation towards the creation of an asset that will enrich the lives of its local community, which also includes some of our employees.”
Jai Nairn, Club President at Stamford RUFC, said: “We are very grateful to 2Excel for its generous donation towards realising our dream.
“Our plan is to create a venue that not only complies with Sport England and RFU requirements but can also be offered for other sporting disciplines which our current premises can’t accommodate.
“Research with people in the local area tells us that the community wants somewhere for other sport and exercise, and for groups for art or music; a space for people of all ages to meet and socialise.
“Using locally sourced materials, incorporating a sustainable energy system, and creating a fit-for-purpose car park, we envisage the new facility will be of great benefit to the local area as a whole.”
