We take part in many volunteering projects, for example, coaching hockey in schools and beach cleans. We also fundraise for various charities by entering the Plymouth 10k and half marathon, running bake sales, 24-hour danceathons and hosting club days.
In May 2026 our 2XI and 3XI raised over £2,000 for RNLI and Alzheimer's Society by completing a 24-hour row and 24-hour run before our annual True Varsity match.
