Keighley, UK – October 8, 2025 – Following an inspiring trip to Ukraine to donate rugby kits to the Ukrainian National Team, Keighley Cougars owners Ryan O’Neill and Kaue Garcia have continued to strengthen their bond with the Ukrainian rugby community. On their return to England, their main club sponsor, Raiseprint, stepped forward with an incredible gesture — to do even more to support those affected by the ongoing conflict.

Raiseprint, a proud Keighley-based business and long-standing supporter of the Cougars, has generously offered to cover the full costs for 10 Ukrainian teens to visit Keighley for a week-long experience from 6th to 13th November. During their stay, the children will enjoy training sessions with the Keighley Cougars first team, as well as a joint training day with Keighley Albion, the local community rugby club.

Thanks to a kind contribution from RL Commercial, the group will also attend an Ashes game in Leeds, alongside a variety of other exciting activities planned by the club and Raiseprint team.

Steve Bell, CEO of Raiseprint, said: “It is a great pleasure to be able to help and do something good for these kids in Ukraine. They’ve lived through a terrible ordeal, and seeing Kaue and Ryan’s journey inspired us to do our bit in supporting those who need it most.”

Louise Bell, co-owner of Raiseprint, added: “We’re thrilled to welcome the children to Keighley from the 6th to 13th of November. We invite any individuals or businesses who wish to contribute to reach out — together, we can make their trip even more special and show that solidarity truly transcends borders.”

Founded over 40 years ago by Steve Bell, Raiseprint is a Keighley-born company providing high-quality printing, packaging, and marketing services to some of the UK’s biggest retailers and brands. As a proud sponsor of the Keighley Cougars for the past three years, Raiseprint continues to demonstrate its commitment not only to local sport but to the wider community — both at home and abroad.
