A CARE group with homes in Steeton and Cross Hills is the main sponsor of the first-ever world mixed-ability rugby tournament.

Czajka has pitch-side promotional boards at the five-day event, which ends tomorrow.

More than 400 players from ten countries are taking part in the tournament, at Bradford & Bingley Rugby Club.

Mixed-ability rugby union has been championed in Yorkshire since the Bumble Bees RUFC was formed in 2009.

Czajka Care Group has strong links with the club and last year became its official kit sponsor.

Managing director Konrad Czajka said: "Our whole ethos is about promoting inclusivity and this is synonymous with mixed-ability rugby, which enables anyone to enjoy the sport regardless of whether they have learning or physical disabilities.

"We're delighted to be supporting this competition."

The group's homes include Currergate at Steeton and Beanlands, Glusburn.
