Bute Energy and Dragons RFC are extending their partnership, strengthening a shared commitment to supporting communities, inspiring young people and investing in future talent across Wales.
From educational workshops that help young people explore sustainability and future careers, to community programmes tackling food poverty and supporting people living with dementia, the partnership reflects a shared belief that positive change happens when organisations work together.
Supporting Wales' future talent
Developing the workforce of the future is a key part of Wales' transition to a low-carbon economy. Through our renewed partnership, Bute Energy and Dragons RFC will continue delivering educational workshops that encourage young people to think about the world around them, explore sustainability issues and discover the opportunities that could be available to them in the future.
The sessions support the ambitions of our Future Skills Strategy, helping young people build knowledge, confidence and awareness of the skills that will be needed in a changing economy.
Making a difference in communities
While supporting future talent remains an important part of the partnership, its impact extends far beyond the classroom.
We're proud to support several community initiatives already delivered by Dragons RFC, including Fit Fed Fun, which provides meals and activities for children in under-resourced communities during school holidays, and Sporting Memories, which supports people living with dementia and their carers through the power of sport, conversation and social connection. Together, these programmes help address some of the challenges facing communities today while creating opportunities for people to connect, learn and thrive.
Mike Sage, Head of Community at Dragons RFC, said: “We are thrilled that Bute Energy has extended its commitment to a range of our key provisions across Gwent, including our Fit, Fed, Fun programme and Sporting Memories groups.
“Our relationship with Bute Energy has grown season on season as it shares our values and ambition to make a lasting difference to supporting communities and helping ensure people across our region have the opportunities to deliver positive change."
At its heart, this partnership is about people. It brings together the community reach and trusted voice of Dragons RFC with our commitment to creating long-term social value and future opportunities across Wales. Whether that's helping a young person discover a new interest, supporting families through community programmes, or creating spaces where people can connect and feel supported, the partnership is focused on delivering meaningful impact where it's needed most.
Delivering our Future Skills Strategy
As Bute Enegy mark two years since launching its Future Skills Strategy, partnerships like this demonstrate how collaboration can help create opportunities for people across Wales.
Through schools engagement, partnerships, training opportunities and initiatives such as our Youth Advisory Board, we're working to help develop the skills, confidence and experiences that will support the next generation.
Our partnership with Dragons RFC is an important part of that journey, helping us engage communities, inspire young people and create positive impact both on and off the pitch.
