The Aberavon RFC players will be volunteering for ‘Age Connects Neath Port Talbot’ to offer safe services to older people, enabling them to follow the current social distancing guidelines.
Aberavon RFC Chairman Andrew V John commented.
“As a club in the heart of Port Talbot we will do as much as we possibly can to help the elderly and people in need in our town.
We are all in completely uncharted territory at present so if there is anything we can do to assist please contact us via the Age Connects NPT.
At times like this communities need to pull together and remain strong – help is there if you need us”.
