Founded in 2022, Colchester Kings RFC is East Anglia’s first LGBTQ+ inclusive rugby club, providing a fun, welcoming environment for people of all identities and abilities to get involved in rugby.
In 2024, the club expanded with the launch of Colchester Thunder, our mixed-gender touch rugby team, allowing us to engage an even wider community.
Together, Kings and Thunder support over 140 players, coaches, and volunteers, working to break down barriers to team sport and help the LGBTQ+ community connect, play, and thrive through rugby.




By becoming a sponsor, you’ll join our primary partner, East of England Co-op, in supporting an inclusive, community-focused rugby club that is making a real local impact.
Your support helps us keep rugby accessible by reducing financial barriers for our members, investing in coach development, covering essential running costs, and continuing to deliver meaningful community outreach.
There are no fixed sponsorship prices. Instead, we work with our partners to create tailored sponsorships that reflect shared values, whether through financial support, goods and services, or support for specific projects.
We welcome support from businesses and individuals of all sizes who want to make a genuine impact while aligning with an inclusive, community-focused club.
