Guinness alcohol use Sarah Hunter and @Womens6Nations to recruit young immature people.

Liked by seanobrien678 and sixnationsrugby’s profile picture sixnationsrugby Verified This is a superb story! England captain Sarah Hunter has contributed to the current campaign to end child poverty by paying for free school meal vouchers at her former primary school. The 35-year-old has covered the costs for every family entitled to the vouchers over the half-term period at Benton Dene Primary in North Shields, as @marcusrashford’s campaign continues to grow. Great work @sarah_hunter8 👏👏👏 #WomensRugby #GoodDeed #Rugby #RugbyGram

Guinness alcohol proud to be first ever Official Sponsor of the Women’s Six Nations Championship.

We’re proud to be the first ever Official Sponsor of the Women’s Six Nations Championship and in 2021 kicked off the Never Settle programme with a successful campaign to increase visibility around the Women’s game.


We collaborated with Twitter to get 84 players from all the participating teams verified – just like the men would be – consequently raising their profile.
Having found that female players accounted for just 3% of the 14,916 rugby-related Wikipedia biographies, we partnered with Wikipedia to write the history of 124 players, writing 50,000 words. We then alerted the media, so they knew where to find factually correct sources, driving coverage and visibility of the women’s game.
We worked with current and ex-players as ambassadors and conducted media interviews to raise awareness of these collaborations and build excitement for the 2021 Championship.
We hosted a series of Facebook and Instagram Lives on Guinness’s channels, home to 6.5 million followers, using high profile personalities to bring new allies to the sport.
CELEBRATING DIVERSITY IN RUGBY
There are so many fantastic inclusive groups and teams in rugby across the UK. Find out more about some their stories and share yours with us by sending a direct message with Guinness GB on Instagram or Facebook:

Supporting the RFU’s launch of a dedicated matchday hotline in stadiums, for fans to report discrimination safely if it does happen
Working with Scottish Rugby and WRU to promote and support their matchday initiatives for fans to report discrimination safely if it does happen
Ensuring our social community management team, responsible for our owned social channels, are given the tools to deal with discrimination if we see it happen
