The trustees of the Percy Park Youth Rugby Trust would like to thank the late Frank Stewart and family for their generous donation to the charity. Frank was a Life Member of Percy Park RFC, an accolade given only to a select number who have given a life time of service to the club.
Frank, a member of the Ground Committee was seen at the club most Tuesdays and Saturdays working on the pitches or with paint brush in hand and had been a keen supporter of the Percy Park Youth Trust and Percy Park Rugby Football Foundation since they were formed in 1986 and 2015 respectively to raise funds in support of rugby. The Youth Trust over the last 40 years has provided financial support towards rugby kit, equipment, coaching and first aid courses and most recently helped to fund the post of Rugby Development Officer a role now taken on by the Newcastle Redbull Foundation.
Frank is greatly missed but his legacy will help sustain the future of mini and junior rugby for boys and girls at Percy Park.
