Did you know Oxfordshire is the first county in England to have a county SEND Rugby Team?
April is Autism awareness month and today was Autism awareness day.
Proud of everyone in Rugby community that supports SEND rugby for parents and players to have new opportunities.

What a great night! Mixed ability rugby under floodlights!
A cheeky addition by @OURLFC who joined in and Gave the teams all a game of touch rugby. Inclusion and diversity at its finest! Big thanks to @oxfordrfc for hosting!

What do you do with retired rugby balls?
Give them a new lease of life for others to enjoy in the community!

As we approach our inulaugral SENS and mixed ability tag festival we'd love you all you reshare and the more people we can meet on the day to show the fun and positivity this can offer!

[Darren Rea @IrishDarren75]

What a simple but powerful message.
We deserved thanks to all the coaches and volunteers that have an impact every weekend.

[Darren Rea @IrishDarren75]

Congratulations to @BanburyRUFC with the set up and first session of their SEND sessions this Sunday
I'm looking forward to attending and supporting them.

[Darren Rea @IrishDarren75]

This was unexpected and humbly accepted. A lot of great volunteers and people that have supported all the work we've done to date. So thank you to all @GAB_RFC and @OxfordshireRFU for the opportunity to drive SEND provision countywide.

[Darren Rea @IrishDarren75]

It's World Autism Acceptance week.
I'd really like some help. We are planning a SEND festival on 19th May @GAB_RFC near Oxford. We could really do with raising awareness and support on the day. Volunteers, rugby players, referees the more the better!
