As part of the club's policy of serving the local community, St Helens RLFC is aware that its players are perceived as role models within our community.

Players will be available to make appearances on behalf of schools, not for profit organisations and community events.

Each appearance will last a maximum of 1 hour and external organisations will be limited to one appearance per calendar year.

CRITERIA

In order for appearances to be beneficial for all involved and to assist in the selection of possible appearances the club has put together the following criteria:

• There needs to be a clear role for players at each of the appearances.
• All appearances must ensure that the maximum number of people are influenced by the visit (an entire school assembly rather than classroom).
• Each organisation is limited to one appearance per calendar year (unless otherwise agreed).
• The requests must be non-activity based.
• The requests must last up to a maximum of one hour.
• All appearances are subject to club approval and are not guaranteed.

PLAYER AVAILABILITY

Players are available on a rota basis and at the discretion of the club. Requests for particular players cannot be guaranteed. Players are also unable to attend events 24 hours before a match day.

SUBMITTING A REQUEST

In order to be considered, ALL appearance requests must be submitted in the following manner:

• All requests must be submitted at least four weeks prior to the date of the appearance.
• All requests must be submitted in writing on your organisation’s letterhead.
• All requests should be mailed to the following address: Mike Appleton, St Helens RLFC, Dunriding Lane, St Helens, Merseyside WA10 4AD.
