A COMPANY that operates nursing homes at Cross Hills and Steeton has achieved a new goal – sponsoring a rugby team.

Czajka Care Group, whose properties include Beanlands and Currergate, is the new official kit sponsor for the Bumble Bees Barbarians Rugby Union Club – known as the Bumbles.

Konrad Czajka, the company’s managing director, said: “As a thriving local business, we always place a lot of emphasis on supporting the community, so we’re delighted to be working with the Bumbles.

“It will be fantastic to see the team wearing the new kit. Hopefully, it can help to bring the best out of the players, and we’ll definitely be following their progress closely this season.”
