Caroline is a much‑loved part of Hartlepool Rovers, giving her time every Sunday morning in the club kitchen. She keeps our supporters and coaches fed, and she prepares and serves post‑match meals for our players, helping to keep one of rugby’s most important traditions alive.

Volunteers like Caroline are the heartbeat of grassroots rugby. Clubs such as Hartlepool Rovers rely on people who give their time and energy simply because they care about the game and the community around it. From running kitchens and organising teams to supporting players and creating a welcoming atmosphere, volunteers ensure that rugby remains accessible, enjoyable, and rooted in local pride. Caroline represents everything that makes grassroots sport special.

As a thank you, Caroline receives a voucher kindly provided by our sponsor, The Hidden Tap in Seaton Carew, Hartlepool. The Hidden Tap is a popular independent taproom known for its relaxed atmosphere, excellent range of craft beers and ciders, and its friendly seaside vibe. It’s a great place to unwind, enjoy quality drinks, and support a local business that supports our club.
