SHU Rugby
I have been the Commercial Manager of SHU Rugby since 2006, helping to raise much needed funds for the club to pay for training equipment, professional coaches and to subsidise costs to enable players from all backgrounds to be able to take part in sport, in a comfortable, supportive and safe environment.
The role is a voluntary role, and throughout my time working with the club I have been successful in promoting the fund raising projects, most famously the SHU Rugby Nude Fundraising Calendar, which celebrated it's 20th anniversary in 2021, and the 'Making of' films, and promoting the ethos of the club: that we are always friendly, welcoming and inclusive.
I set up and maintain the main SHU Rugby websites; including the online store which sells the calendars and films at www.shurugbyshop.co.uk and the SHU Rugby Twitter and Vimeo sites.

The SHU Rugby online store also sells fundraising products for other charities and sports groups.
Over the years we have provided sales and distribution services through shurugbyshop for Beverley Rugby Club, Nottingham Rugby Club, Rugby Helps our Heroes (fundraising for Help for Heroes) and LAD Prostate (fundraising for Prostate Cancer UK).
All these services have been provided completely free of charge to the charities and clubs so that they receive 100% of all profits that their products raise. Our thinking is that by providing this free service, it brings additional traffic to the site and therefore promotes our fundraising products at the same time. Everyone's a winner!
For 2016 and 2017 the SHU Rugby calendar products were also raising money on behalf of charity NASS, the National Ankylosing Spondylitis Society. Since 2021 our nominated charity is the Remarkable Ronnie children's charity.
In 2017, SHU Rugby also supported the Weston Park Teenage Cancer Trust and Macmillan Cancer Support, and we sponsored the Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice Team of the Year Award.
