New PM Andy Burnham kicks off his salary donation pledge with a surprise gift to the Ashton Bears Rugby Club—a grassroots team he’s long admired. After visiting during his by-election campaign and being moved by their community impact, he dropped a pint and announced a 15% donation from his MP salary, earmarked for local causes in Makerfield. The club, celebrating 40 years of coaching kids and instilling values like teamwork and loyalty, plans to expand women’s, girls’, and disability rugby. Burnham, a former Rugby Football League President and ex-Mayor who previously donated to tackle homelessness, continues his tradition of giving back—this time spotlighting grassroots sports as a pillar of his new mandate.
