​

​Kelso RFC is more than a club; it makes a positive contribution to the wellbeing of our community and has a membership of over 500 which includes both playing and non-playing members with a diverse age range from young to old.  As a vibrant and respected club within Scottish Rugby, it is an integral part of our community which allows people to develop in a safe and positive environment, through rugby, physical activity and social inclusion.

 

Developing our Community engagement and multi-generational interaction is something we hope to build on, allowing positive discussions around mental health to filter out and challenging the stigma in the wider community.

 

Kelso RFC were recently successful in achieving the 'Creating Hope Award' to support our members & supporters with their Mental Health & Wellbeing. 15 people ranging from Committee Members and Senior men to Under 18 boys, Youth Rugby (boys & girls) and Mini Rugby completed the informal Level training to become Mental Health Advocates. We have also have a new Wellbeing notice board in the clubrooms with further information on support for our membership.
