Club leadership

Behind every community club is a committed team.

The Bedford Swifts committee exists to support the long-term health of the club. That means helping players, coaches, volunteers, supporters and sponsors work together to create a positive rugby environment in Bedford.

The committee is responsible for the practical work that keeps the club moving: administration, communication, finance, safeguarding, events, sponsorship, membership and the development of club facilities and opportunities.
