Chiefs CEO and Chairman Joins Players for Vranch House Visit

Exeter Chiefs players joined the club’s CEO and Chairman, Tony Rowe CBE in a visit to local children’s charity Vranch House last week.

Tony Rowe CBE, who is Patron of the charity, was accompanied by Chiefs Men’s players Olly Woodburn and Rusi Tuima as well as Chiefs Women’s players Emily Tuttosi and Gabby Cantorna.

Vranch House is an independent children’s charity which provides out-patient and education services to children aged 2-19 with physical difficulties and other health needs. Children are provided support by physiotherapists from birth, on the neonatal unit, through to 19-years-old.

Their work includes the provision of physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, and music therapy to help ensure the welfare of the children in their care.

The group of Chiefs guests received a tour of the charity’s facilities as they were also afforded the chance to interact with some of the children.

“I was delighted to get the chance to visit Vranch House again last week,” Tony Rowe CBE said. “They do such important work helping the young people in our local community and I think it is important for our players to learn about such a worthwhile cause.

“It was lovely to see the children interacting with our players, involving them in games and enjoying the time we spent there with them.

“The work we do with our own Exeter Chiefs Foundation aims to have as positive of an impact on our area as the fantastic staff at Vranch House do.”

We would like to thank everyone at Vranch House for their welcome and commend them for the important work they do.
