As part STANLEY®’s ongoing investment in grassroots sport and its commitment to supporting those who contribute so much to the trades that are critical to the UK economy, STANLEY® has funded new playing equipment and resources for the LIARFC Under 6s.

The shelter, coaches apparel and training equipment will make a valuable contribution to the players, coaches and parents as they move into Season 2026 /2027.

Darren Barber – Senior Brand Director, STANLEY®, and LIARFC Under 6 Head Coach

“We can see that LIARFC. is far more than just a rugby club; it is an organisation built on many of the same pillars as the STANLEY® brand. Both celebrate a meaningful focus on legacy, pride in purpose, true belonging, and a shared ambition for success both on and off the pitch or jobsite.

"We are delighted to contribute to a club that stands as a pillar of the community and to play a part in the future of its young players as they begin their rugby journey. We also hope that some of them may one day go on to enter the critical trades up and down the country, helping to build and maintain our future."

On behalf of London Irish Amateur we would like to thank both Darren and STANLEY® for this practical and valuable contribution.
