FirstAssist, the leading healthcare and wellbeing solutions provider, is supporting the future of English rugby through a £20,000 sponsorship agreement with the England Rugby Football Schools’ Union (ERFSU). This additional funding will enable the ERSFU to carry out its centenary celebrations in style.

The support from FirstAssist will be instrumental in organising quality matches for the teams. In particular, it ensured the success of the Under 16 and Under 18 matches against Wales at Leicester Tigers, the focus of a fantastic celebration of 100 years of international schools rugby.

Tim Ablett, Chief Executive of FirstAssist comments, “We are delighted to be sponsoring the ERSFU, especially as it helps them put on an event to mark a century of competitive schools’ rugby. At FirstAssist we are committed to encouraging people to take control of their health and wellbeing, so by supporting sport in schools we hope to play a part in creating a generation of fit and healthy young people.”
