About
Nestled in the heart of Pocklington, surrounded by scenic villages, Pocklington Rugby In The Community (PRITC) stands as more than just a rugby club. Led by the dedicated Louise Partridge, PRITC is committed to enriching the lives of community members, particularly during festive seasons.
PRITC regularly organises events that bolster community spirit and support. A key event is the Pocklington Community Volunteers Awards ceremony held at the Pocklington Arts Centre, honouring the contributions of local volunteers.
Mental health is a priority for PRITC, and they've funded a Mental Health First Aider Course, enabling volunteers from Pocklington to gain vital qualifications at no cost. This 14-hour course equips participants with essential skills.
The annual PockDown family funday at Pocklington Rugby Club is a highlight, drawing around 3,000 attendees. With activities ranging from music to exhibitions, it's a day of free entertainment for all, supported by PRITC, Pocklington Town Council, and East Riding of Yorkshire Council's Active Communities Team.
PRITC, with Pocklington Town Council and East Riding Council, is once again calling for nominations for the Pocklington Community Volunteer Awards. This year's ceremony will take place at the Pocklington Arts Centre to celebrate local heroes.
Louise Partridge is passionate about volunteerism and encourages more people in Pocklington to get involved. Recognising the importance of "warm spaces," PRITC arranged a cinema afternoon at Pocklington Arts Centre, uniting attendees from various local groups for an enjoyable experience.
PRITC extends its impact by supporting Ukrainian families in East Yorkshire. Through volunteer efforts and donations, these families enjoyed a memorable day in Bridlington and received free internet access to improve their stay.
Pocklington Rugby In The Community goes beyond traditional club activities, fostering unity and kindness through its initiatives, making a lasting difference in the lives of Pocklington residents.
