BLUES IN THE COMMUNITY  

Director of rugby Mike Rayer officially cut the ribbon at the opening ceremony of Bedford Open Door on Monday afternoon. Mike was joined by Blues squad members Ollie Dodge, Will Chudley, James Knight and Duncan Taylor who were given a tour of the new facilities in Tavistock Street which the charity moved into earlier this year.

Speaking at the opening Mike said: “There are a lot of crossover between the work carried out by Bedford Open Door and sport especially when you look at things such as injuries, family issues and dealing with mind, health and body. My job has seen me working with a lot of young people to help them fulfil their potential and counselling certainly helps that process no end".

“There are lots of issues in young people’s lives that can lead to things such as depression and mental health issues, and the work carried out by Bedford Open Door should be recognised and supported throughout the town.

“I wish the charity well and hope that they can continue the fantastic work that they do for many years to come.”
