This arrangement also means a benefit to the club, as for every new policy, there is a revenue stream generated for the rugby club as well.

The policies both for individuals as well as companies are available after consultation/advice from Victoria Smith (mobile 07985 154739) the local Vitality Consultant who also often attends and supports the club, mentioning of course the connection to the rugby club.  

So what are the benefits of Vitality and how does the official tie-up, fit with Lichfield Rugby Club apart from the obvious policy benefits & financial rewards? Well Vitality Health also is insurance that rewards policyholders for being healthy, which of course is one of the key benefits of playing rugby. We all want to lead a healthier lifestyle and this is on most of our minds as we move into 2016 and if you are policyholder with Vitality Health you are actually rewarded for doing so.

Some of the benefits for policyholders include:

> A Cash Back reward as a thank you for being a non-smoker
> Up to 50% off if you fancy a new set of wheels at Evans cycles.
> 50% discount off VIRGIN active gyms including the Virgin Lichfield branch and even if you a currently a member at this gym you will still be eligible for the discount if you join VITALITY health.
> 75% discount on  a spa weekend at Champneys

In addition to these discounts you can also get FREE cinema tickets, FREE Starbucks drinks and up to 40% off British Airways flight.....and much more. 

Vitality Heath enables you (or your family or your employees, dependent on the type/level covered) when they fall ill, to have access to the best possible medical care privately. This means skipping the NHS waiting lists and getting seen quickly and having access to the best treatment and drugs. 

As a VITALITY member there is also have free access to a VITALITY GP who is available for consultations via an app on a smart phone from home or workplace, again allowing fast track access to the very best possible treatment.

Ian Bascombe the Commercial Director of Lichfield Rugby Club said ‘Speaking with some of the members, this tie up fits in well as it is helpful that both players, & supporters lead a fitter and healthier lifestyle, and these discounts will help financially the members that do take advantage of the tie up, as well as helping financially Lichfield Rugby Club. Also if there are serious health problems to be able to be fast-tracked to first class medical care makes complete sense”.

Ian Bascombe also added ‘We would also love to engage further with other organisations or companies that can enhance the offering to our members, and at the same time add revenue to help run our facilities.  We welcome anyone who would like to get involved with Lichfield RUFC or use the facilities which are available for events, dinners, teambuilding and other opportunities.”
