Commenting, on the partnership, Alan Day VW Managing director, Paul Tanner who has showrooms in Hampstead, The City and New Southgate, says: “We are delighted and proud to be associated with Saracens as a main sponsor and supporting this great sporting initiative.

“To be awarded the Freedom of the Borough is a great honour for everyone involved, particularly with the Sarries Sports Foundation and I would like to thank my team at Alan Day who have helped make this happen.”

The popular touch rugby sessions, which are run by Thomas Gamage won the Premiership Rugby BreakThru Award in a glittering ceremony at the House of Commons.

The aim is to improve the participants health, mental wellbeing, to create opportunities in the community and for like-minded parents to meet while the boys are training.

First team players like England stars Billy Vunipola, Brad Barritand Jamie George regularly give up their time for free to help coach the youngsters.

They are joined by Alan Day VW Managing Director Paul Tanner and members of his staff who sponsor the sessions and provide refreshments for parents watching from the stands.

All the kids have a go at the cross bar challenge and the tackle bags and interact with each other in specially arranged games.
Fun away matches are also organised against Aviva Premiership opponents who also support teams with disabilities.
