As the season comes to a close, it gives us a moment to pause and reflect on something far bigger than rugby — the incredible strength of our community.
Since the start of the new year, the support shown to Henry and his family has been nothing short of extraordinary. Today, Henry has shared a brave and deeply moving message to thank everyone who has stood by him and his parents during such an incredibly difficult time.
Henry continues to fight every single day with a determination and resilience that truly humbles anyone who witnesses his journey. The road ahead is long, but because of the love and support surrounding him, it’s a road filled with hope, courage, and optimism.
To everyone who has donated to Henry’s gofundme, contributed raffle prizes, shared his story, sent kind messages and cards, attended or organised fundraising events — thank you. Every gesture, big or small, has made a difference.
There are so many rugby clubs and individuals who stepped forward without hesitation when support was needed — far too many to name individually. The list truly feels endless. To each and every one of you: you know who you are, and we hope you understand just how deeply grateful we all are — as a club, and especially Henry and his family.
We also want to extend a heartfelt thank you to the wider public, whose kindness has reached far beyond the rugby community. Whether you’ve shared Henry’s story, offered support from afar, or contributed in any way, your compassion has made a real and lasting impact. It means more than words can truly express.
We will continue to stand beside Henry and his family in every way we can as he keeps fighting leukaemia. And we look forward to coming together again next season, stronger than ever, to remind Henry that he is never alone — we are with him every step of the way 💙

Huge thank you to Wales Rugby for showing their support to Henry! That’s England & Wales, now it’s time for Scotland 🏴 & Ireland 🇮🇪 😉🤞🏻🙏🏻
The momentum behind is just incredible right now 💙🏉
We are completely blown away that players Henry Arundell & .j.clark took time out of their busy 6 Nations preparations to send Henry such a special message. Simply WOW. That kind of kindness means more than words can say. Thank you so much, gents 🙏
A HUGE thank you as well to all the local combination clubs who are getting behind this movement. The rugby family is something truly special ❤️
These videos of support are bringing real comfort to Henry and genuinely lifting his spirits during such a critical time. Every message, every show of support, every share – it all matters more than you know.
It’s been an absolute pleasure visiting clubs this week with the banner… and we’re not stopping. More visits to come 👊
Let’s keep standing shoulder to shoulder.
Let’s keep showing Henry he’s not facing this alone.
