With Foundation Day just around the corner, Northampton Saints Foundation reveal an exciting line-up of activities scheduled for when Northampton Saints face Saracens in the Gallagher Premiership.
Taking place under the Friday night lights on 29th March (kick off 7.45pm), the event support by Keepmoat, aims to raise crucial funds to support people in the community via the Foundation’s programmes, with the ambitious target of £50,000. We understand that times are tough right now, and appreciate all your support on this day and throughout the year.
