Farsound is continuing its tradition of supporting its local communities by sponsoring the Under 10s and SouthSEND teams at Southend Rugby Football Club. The sponsorship includes supporting both teams and coaches with branded rugby kit to help the young players feel part of a cohesive team when training or playing both away around Essex plus home fixtures at Warners Bridge Park in Southend-on-Sea.

Southend-on-Sea is located just 16 miles from Farsound’s brand new HQ building, in Brentwood, which was opened by the Mayor of Brentwood over the summer. The company also has facilities in Europe, USA, Canada and Asia.

Marcus Plummer, Farsound’s Group Head of Procurement said: “We are delighted to support the SouthSEND and Under 10s teams as part of our ongoing relationship with Southend Rugby Football Club. Ensuring that all children can have access to rugby is so important. It provides them with an inclusive, supportive and welcoming environment in which to develop their game, make friends and boost their confidence. We look forward to being able to support both the Under 10s and the SouthSEND teams during the coming rugby season and celebrating their team and personal achievements with them.”

Southend Rugby Football Club was founded in 1870 and is one of the oldest rugby clubs in the world. It runs a wide number of teams across different age groups, from adults to Under 5s. The club’s SouthSEND teams comprise players who are between the ages of five and 17 years old and have additional needs, such as Down Syndrome, autism, ADHD, dyspraxia and visual impairments.
