Edge Group Scotland Proudly Supports Edinburgh Inclusive Rugby Team
Edge Group Scotland is delighted to announce our support for the Edinburgh Inclusive Rugby Team (EIRT), proudly sponsoring the match ball for their fixtures this season.
EIRT is run entirely by volunteers and exists to make rugby truly inclusive, welcoming players of all abilities and backgrounds. Their commitment to breaking down barriers in sport echoes our own mission at Edge Group Scotland — creating positive pathways where young adults who are autistic and/or have additional support needs (ASN) can build independence, confidence, and real-world skills.
At Edge, we know the power of activity, teamwork, and community to transform lives. Our programmes are built around the belief that staying active — whether it’s through outdoor learning, independent living skills, or opportunities to connect — opens up new possibilities. That’s why supporting EIRT feels like such a natural fit for us.
"We’re incredibly proud to be backing Edinburgh Inclusive Rugby Team (EIRT) this season. Their vision of making sport accessible and inclusive for everyone goes hand-in-hand with our belief that every young person deserves the chance to thrive. Just like on the rugby pitch, it’s about building confidence, celebrating individuality, and creating opportunities that last a lifetime. We’ll be there bringing the noise and cheering the team on every step of the way!" - Claire Runciman, Marketing Manager at Edge Group Scotland
