Our successful relationship with Tai Calon Community Housing – our Official Esports Community Partner – has been handed a boost this week after a successful funding application.
Dragons and Tai Calon - the largest provider of homes in Blaenau Gwent – announced Official Community partnership status last August, as we set our sights on conquering the exciting new world of Esports.
The collaboration combined the Dragons RFC Esports organisation, powered by the reputable US company Rival, and Tai Calon's Well Being Team.
The project between the two has been handed a boost this week after Tai Calon had a National Lottery Community Fund bid for Esports in Blaenau Gwent fully funded.
We will now be working with Tai Calon to deliver this ground-breaking initiative – watch this space for more updates and announcements as gear up together to revolutionise the gaming scene in our community.
Dan Nicholls, Commercial Sales Manager at Dragons RFC, said: “It’s fantastic news that the National Lottery Community Fund bid has been successful, and we’re excited to work with the Well Being Team from Tai Calon to engage with various schools throughout Blaenau Gwent.
"As a business, we have been diligently working behind the scenes for several years to establish ourselves in the Esports arena and this successful funding application will only enhance our work in this area."
