The Gigaclear Kidz in The Community scheme, which is due to kick-off in October, will see coaches from the rugby club working with local primary and secondary schools to help teach rugby to the next generation of players. The scheme is part of a new sponsorship package that will see Gigaclear help fund next year’s summer camp at the club as well as a minis and juniors challenge competition.

Gigaclear is currently extending its network in the town, giving around 5,500 homes and businesses the opportunity access to ultrafast broadband. It launched its new sponsorship package at Cinderford Rugby Club’s match against Plymouth Albion on Saturday, September 24, 

Gigaclear’s Head of Marketing Andy Brotherton said: “We’re really pleased to be able to support Cinderford Rugby Club and in particular its efforts to encourage youngsters in the town to play the sport.  We recognise the important role the rugby club plays at the heart of the community, and we are keen to support their efforts.”

Cinderford Rugby Club Commercial Manager, Paul Willetts, said: “We’re delighted that  Gigaclear has chosen to join our family of sponsors. Like many in the town, we welcome Gigaclear’s efforts to extend its network to the town. Having fast, reliable broadband is as important to us as a business as it no doubt is to many other homeowners and companies operating in the community, so we are really pleased to welcome them to our club, and hopefully this will be the start of a long-term partnership.”
