TIGERS ANNOUNCE CHARITY PARTNERSHIP

SHEFFIELD have teamed up with their local children’s hospital in a title charity partnership for the 2026 Premiership season.

The club have opted not to assign a main team sponsor for the forthcoming campaign in order to support Sheffield Children’s Hospital in a big year for the charity.

Not only is it the 50th year for the charity, but they are also celebrating 150 years since the hospital first opened its doors.

Co-owner Damien Bates said: “When we sat down to start getting plans in place for the season, one thing we spoke about was forming some partnerships in the region to try and give something back to the local community.

“Sheffield Children’s Hospital was one that was put to us and when we heard it was the 150th year there, for us it all made perfect sense to help promote their work as much as we can.

“The charity will have a presence on some of our racenights where they will have representatives explaining some of the projects they are working on this year and our supporters will have the opportunity to make a donation at the same time.”
