Our generous fans have started donating replica shirts and sports clothing at the Shining Lights Centre as we look to fill a container to send to Tonga! Check out the gallery below!
The Club kick started the Tonga initiative by supplying 250 shirts from our existing stock as well as pairs of boots and equipment earlier in the week – watch that by clicking here.

After launching the Tonga relief project earlier this week, we have seen huge numbers of support and positivity with fans already donating rugby clothing and equipment to the cause.
A number of generous rugby league fans have also donated to the cause by the way of the Just Giving Fundraising page which can be accessed here: https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/SaintsSupportingTongaย
For those that missed the big reveal, the Club launched an initiative which will see replica shirts and sports equipment sent to Tonga to help provide children with vital clothing and resources after the island was devastated recently following a Tsunami.
The Club also plans a hive of Tongan themed activity at the Saints vs Warrington clash on Friday 11 Marchย with more details revealed in due course.
A moving story from @konmanhurrell.
Brilliant to see one of our hosts, @Saints1890 support one of our nations, Tonga.
