Winston Churchill
Bluecoat prides itself not only on our tremendous work ethic but our endeavour to give back to the community.
We achieve our aims of supporting and helping the community through sponsorship, charitable events and working with charities.
Worthing RFC
The whole of the bluecoat family enjoys sport and especial rugby. David, Jasmine and Wendy have all played for the club, Robin was a coach and the Chair of girls rugby. We still have a close ties to club through Lucas and Tiaman (grandson and Nephews) who currently play in the Mini's.
In February 2019 we were approached to become the main sponsor of the club after Bowers and Wilkins made the decision to step down.
We were overjoyed at the opportunity to be able to support the club through its rise in the future and as they look to celebrate their centenary year in 202o.
Our support will not only provide funding to the Raiders (Worthing 1st team) but also the Mini's, juniors and Raiders Academy through equipment and a charitable fund.
