UNIVERSITY STAR FUNDRAISING FOR GB OPPORTUNITY

Recent Huddersfield University Graduate Ben is fundraising for an exciting opportunity to be part of GB Pioneers in Poland, read below for the details.

Here at the Huddersfield Giants, we're always looking at supporting local causes and especially within the University, and when we were tagged in Ben's pledge on Instagram, who has represented the University side Blue Ghosts and Lindley St Josephs, fund-raising for a once in a lifetime opportunity, we could not share this with the wider Rugby League audience.

Taken from Ben's gofundme, which has already raised £700, is an extract on who the GB Pioneers are and what Ben is looking to achieve from this trip.

Ben was captain of the university side , and is now looking to visit Poland with GB Pioneers, see below for all the details.

Who Are the GB Pioneers?
The GB Pioneers are a team of university-level rugby league players from across Britain. They travel to developing rugby nations to help grow the sport by:
• Running coaching clinics and educational sessions
• Playing matches against national and local teams
• Promoting rugby league through teamwork and cultural exchange
Players are selected not only for their playing ability, but for their passion, leadership, and commitment to supporting rugby league development worldwide. In recent years, the Pioneers have toured countries like Albania, Montenegro, Greece, Morocco, and Latvia — helping local teams grow and even establish national programs. 
This summer, we head to Poland to continue that mission. Why I Need Your Help This amazing opportunity is entirely self-funded, and I'm aiming to raise £1,100 to cover:
• ✈️ Travel and accommodation
• Training kit and team uniform
• Travel insurance and medical cover
• ️ Match and tour fees
• Workshops and cultural exchange activities
Every donation, big or small, brings me closer to this goal — and closer to representing my country while doing something meaningful for the sport I love.
