We are extremely grateful to Cornwall Community Foundation for awarding our club a grant through their Penwith and Isles of Scilly Fund to support our first aid and medical supplies for the coming season.
Cornwall Community Foundation helps people across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly by awarding small grants to grass roots organisations who are working to overcome the challenges of disadvantage, exclusion and poverty in their communities. Find out more at www.cornwallcommunityfoundation.com.
Meanwhile, work continues apace at the club with foundations being laid for the new clubhouse, where the grandstand used to be located.
From vision… to foundations… to the future of St Ives RFC. Four years ago, this was a dream. Today, the foundations of our new clubhouse are in the ground, and every ticket sold for our Evening with Jack Nowell helps bring this incredible community project another step closer to reality.
One night. Four rugby stories. One great cause.
Join us on Friday 3rd July for what promises to be a fantastic evening celebrating rugby, Cornwall and St Ives RFC.
We’re delighted to welcome:
Jack Nowell
Graham Dawe
Andy Reed
Peter Hendy
Hosted by Mark Stevens, the evening will be packed with stories, laughter, memories and audience Q&A, as we raise funds towards our new clubhouse.
We’ve now sold over 110 tickets, but we’d love to see another 40 rugby supporters join us and help fill the room.
Whether you’re from St Ives, Penzance, Camborne, Launceston… or any rugby club in Cornwall… you’ll enjoy this one.
Friday 3rd July. Doors open 7:00p.m. for 7:30p.m. start.
Tickets available via the Crowdfunder link below.

Securing grant funding for essential first aid and medical supplies, while simultaneously progressing with the new clubhouse foundations, demonstrates the club's commitment to both player welfare and future growth.
The upcoming event featuring Jack Nowell and other rugby personalities sounds like a fantastic opportunity for supporters to come together, celebrate the sport, and contribute to an important community project.
