Support your local rugby club
Volvic is helping more girls to get into rugby and awaken their inner force.
Thank you for getting involved in the Force of Nature Fund!
Volvic is on a mission to help more girls get into rugby and inspire them to awaken their inner force.
That’s why we’re offering nominated UK rugby clubs with existing female teams or new female-led initiatives the chance to win a grant worth up to £5,000.
This fund will support programmes, coaching, and resources to break down barriers and support more girls across the nation to discover the strength, confidence, and community that rugby brings.
Channelling the volcanic force from Volvic’s roots to the unstoppable forces of nature from the players on the pitch, help us support these incredible initiatives and the growth of women’s rugby!
