EBC Group Proudly Sponsors the Rugby Black List Event

EBC Group is delighted to announce our sponsorship of the recent Rugby Black List event, a significant celebration of black achievement in rugby union at all levels. This inspiring initiative is dedicated to recognizing and highlighting the contributions of black players, coaches, volunteers, and stakeholders within the rugby community.

About the Rugby Black List

The Rugby Black List was founded by Sagan Daniels, who initiated conversations in 2017 about the black experience in rugby. These discussions gained substantial momentum during the pandemic in 2020, as the black rugby community came together through virtual calls and social media to share their experiences. This collective effort led to the formation of the Rugby Black List Steering Group in August 2022. Within just five months, the group organised their first event.

The Journey and Future Plans

Since the successful 2023 Awards, the Rugby Black List Steering Group has been diligently working to build and expand the network and community around the Rugby Black List. Their efforts are focused on creating more opportunities for black individuals in rugby, fostering a sense of belonging and support, and planning for future events.

EBC Group’s Commitment to Diversity

At EBC Group, we believe in the power of diversity and the importance of recognising and celebrating achievements across all communities. Our sponsorship of the Rugby Black List reflects our commitment to fostering inclusivity and supporting initiatives that make a meaningful impact. We are honoured to be part of an event that not only celebrates excellence but also inspires future generations to pursue their dreams.

The Rugby Black List event aligns perfectly with our values at EBC Group. We are dedicated to creating an environment where everyone, regardless of their background, has the opportunity to succeed. Supporting the Rugby Black List allows us to contribute to a cause that champions these same principles within the rugby community.
