Camborne resident Simon Hampton, who attends the 'Greenhaven' Supported Accommodation base in the town, loves the game of rugby and thoroughly enjoys providing assistance to the Cornish Pirates as a valued volunteer.

Last season Simon attended the Recreation Ground at Camborne on the mornings of games to help brush up the stand and clean the seating, and he also carried out duties at other times in a willing and enthusiastic manner under the direction of Pirates Rudi Grenfell and Colin Dymond.

During the summer Simon has also offered his services ahead of the new season, which for him and fellow supporters can't come quick enough.

Speaking on behalf of the Cornish Pirates, Media Officer Phil Westren commented:

"It is important that assistance is given those with learning difficulties, providing individuals with interest and fulfilment in what they can achieve.

Simon, with support also from Carol and Bill Martin at 'Greenhaven', is certainly an achiever, and we value his input greatly."
