Donation to Yorkshire Brain Tumour Charity - 22/04/25
An amazing £1000 was donated to Yorkshire Brain Tumour Charity in honour of Andrew Greir who unfortunately died from a brain tumour. The charity supports patients and their loved ones through a brain tumour diagnosis. The money was raised by our Templars members through bucket collections and money made from items such as a signed rugby ball from the 2006 Hull Kingston Rovers.

Update for our sponsored Hearing Puppy - 12/12/24
This is an update from our sponsored ‘Hearing Puppy for deaf people’.
Oscar now approaches the end of his training at puppy school, and has moved homes and is now living with his new volunteer dog trainers.
He has done very well learning how to alert to life- saving and important sounds, a very tricky part of his training.
He now nudges his trainer when he hears a cooker timer and takes them to the source. He can recognize smoke alarms and other key sounds!
It’s lovely to see Oscar doing so well, and we are delighted as Templars to have played a small part in that.
Group Lunch - 12/12/24
The Rugby MS Support Group lunch for carers, and for those with MS and their families was a great success and enjoyed by all. Thank you to those who participated.
