Doncaster Phoenix Charity Update!

23rd December 2024

A big thank you for the support so far…

As we have so often done in the past the club is helping to support a local charity – in this case Mind Doncaster.

Players, staff, volunteers and supporters have been working hard to raise funds in various ways to support the Doncaster based mental health charity, who like the club devote their time to supporting the local community.

There have been collections, raffles, cake and kit sales to name but a few of the activities that have taken place, with more to come in the second half of the season.

Club Chairman Dave Thomas said “We have historically always supported local concerns and charities – and we felt that in the present climate Mind Doncaster was a perfect fit as our club charity for season 2024/25”

He added ” We are working closely with the staff from Mind this season to raise both profile and much needed cash to support their work in the local area”

Both Phoenix and Demons match playing shirts feature the Mind Doncaster logo this season and early season efforts have already seen over £1600 raised and donated with more to come.

Anne Symon, Chair of Mind Doncaster joined us at our Christmas Lunch earlier in December and said “What a fantastic community you’ve got here at Castle Park. We feel really welcome to be involved with the club. Thank you all for the very generous donations so far and the praise you have given to our team. I’ve made sure that’s been fed back and that the CEO is aware, I feel really proud!

Doncaster Mind prides itself on helping the community of Doncaster with its mental health, which is why we are so pleased to work with Doncaster Phoenix, a community rugby club.”
