@Looking_Back1 They encouraged participants to explore rugby league’s rich heritage, with the project continuing to grow in strength and reach. The sessions reinforced that participants, families and communities are part of the sport’s living heritage.

Not every outstanding project takes home a main award, but some deserve special recognition for the depth and impact of their contribution to sporting heritage. @Looking_Back1 began during the pandemic, offering a lifeline to those experiencing isolation.
