RNRU Valuing the Volunteer

The Royal Navy Rugby Union proudly presents annual awards to members who make an outstanding contribution to the Union or one of its Clubs; on or off the field. It's our small way of saying a big thank you for all the efforts people voluntarily put in, week in, week out. Without them the RNRU and its clubs wouldn't be the fantastic organisation that it is. The Valuing the Volunteer scheme is similar to the RFU Presidential scheme in that it exists to acknowledge the huge amount of work that takes place behind the scenes to ensure that rugby gets played at all levels.
