Sussex Police Rugby Football Club has raised an incredible £10,000 for local good causes in the past few months.

The Club donated £3025 to the Chestnut Tree House children's hospice following a charity auction and raffle at the annual black tie dinner.

St Wilfreds Hospice and Cancerwise both received cheques of £578 after the Club held a fundraising rugby match in memory of Eddie Bristow who died from cancer last year. Eddie was a Detective Constable who played for Sussex Police for many years. The game was made up of the current Sussex Police Rugby team against a Sussex Police President's side made up of players from years gone by. It was a close fought game with the current Sussex Police team winning 32-31 with the last kick of the game!

The team are still collecting money from their mammoth Marathon Van Pull. You can still donate money to Help for Heroes at JustGiving
