What we did

We’re pleased to share that we have expanded our support of inclusive sport with the sponsorship of the Fosse Falcons, a grassroots girls’ rugby team covering South Warwickshire with the aim to give girls the opportunity to play competitive rugby matches.

HKA’s Jon Bird, Technical Director, is a coach for the Fosse Falcons, said, “It became obvious that we needed to do something to keep the girls engaged and actually playing contact rugby. They will not be fobbed off with touch rugby!”

We have provided sponsorship for uniforms, as boys’ shirts and shorts are not suitable for girls, and for a tournament to provide great opportunities for the club. HKA’s Rhiann Storey, Director, was invited to a shirt presentation evening.

At HKA we are embarking on our reconciliation journey and our RAP symbolises the first steps we will be taking to achieve our reconciliation goals. We acknowledge that this is just the start of our journey and we look forward to growing as we advance along the path that is now set.

Our Reflect RAP sets HKA’s commitment to establishing measurable objectives that will help us to progress along the path of reconciliation. As an initiation task, we have assigned responsibility for the development of this Reflect RAP to a sub-set of the ED&I Working Group in order to share roles and responsibilities relating to advocacy and influence, and to provide the impetus needed to support the development of our Innovate RAP.
