HMPPS Ladies Rugby Union
My name is Jordan March, and I am the coach of the HMPPS Ladies National Rugby Team. I am reaching out to explore exciting sponsorship opportunities for our team for the upcoming season, which includes several high-visibility events that present a unique chance for your brand.
We are a non-profit organisation dedicated to supporting the incredible women who serve in the prison and probation services. These dedicated individuals work tirelessly in demanding roles and deserve opportunities to unwind and engage in recreational activities. With the surge in global interest surrounding women’s rugby this year, it is an excellent opportunity for your brand to gain recognition alongside our team’s endeavours.
One of the highlights of our season will be our participation in the prestigious World Police and Fire Games in Alabama, a significant international event showcasing the skills and dedication of emergency services personnel from around the world. This event offers a remarkable platform for brand exposure to a diverse audience, including competitors, supporters, and media.
Moreover, we are organising a major event on 4th March 2026, featuring 3 to 4 matches involving various national services and charity teams, such as the Scottish Police, Welsh Police, and others, including HMPPS. We would be honoured to have a representative from your company attend or even speak at the event. The day will culminate in a sit-down dinner, and we are actively seeking sponsorship support for this occasion.
Looking further ahead, we have an exciting rugby tour to Ireland planned for June 2026, where we will compete against the National Irish Combined Services Women’s Team. This tour will not only enhance our team’s skills and camaraderie but also present yet another opportunity for your brand to be showcased on an international stage.
We would love to feature your logo on our team kit, ensuring prominent representation during all these key events. Our funding is limited, and any support you can provide would be immensely appreciated, regardless of the amount.
