Rhinos Brew Veterans Cafe

The ‘Rhinos Brew’ Café runs from the AMT Headingley Stadium’s Community Hub.

It aims to provide Armed Forces veterans in Leeds with weekly sessions focusing on education, social engagement, wellbeing, and physical activity in a welcoming, accessible and safe venue.

Developed collaboratively with both injured and non-injured veterans, these sessions leverage the impact of sports to address loneliness, isolation, and enhance mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing.

The space is funded by the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust’s Force For Change programme and has been supported by players from the Leeds Rhinos Women’s team who are currently serving in the Armed Forces alongside veterans who now play for the charity’s physical disability and wheelchair teams.

Each 90-minute session comprises of an activity phase, followed by a social opportunity complemented with refreshments. Co-designed with veterans, these activities will range from educational workshops on healthy living, to tours of AMT Headingley Stadium and physical activity experiences like Wheelchair Rugby League.

Sessions take place every Thursday from 2-4pm.
