York RLFC have partnered with York's Chocolate Story and St Leonard's Hospice to create their own line of York RLFC chocolate bars!

The chocolate bars are each wrapped with an amber or silver stripe ribbon design and embellished with a Knights or Valkyrie emblem.

The 'Knights' chocolate bars come as a salted caramel milk chocolate and the 'Valkyrie' bars milk chocolate.

50% of all proceeds from each chocolate bar will go to local charity St Leonard's Hospice!

Stuart Wood, General Manager at York’s Chocolate Story, said:

“We are thrilled to be partnering with York RLFC to launch these exclusive chocolate bars. With 50% of the profits benefiting St Leonard’s Hospice, we are proud to support the exceptional care and services the hospice provides to our community.”

James Wainwright, Head of Fundraising at St Leonard’s Hospice, said:

“We're incredibly grateful to York RLFC and York’s Chocolate Story for supporting the Hospice through the sale of these fantastic new chocolate bars.

"St Leonard's relies on the generosity of our community, and it’s thanks to such support that we can continue to be here for the patients, families, and carers who need our care.”

York RLFC Chairman, Clint Goodchild added:

"We are proud to be partnering with York's Chocolate Story to support St Leonard's Hospice in launching these uniquely special, and tasty, chocolate bars.

"We understand the priceless support the hospice offers to the community and we hope this helps both raise some funds and profile for what is one of the most deserving charities in the city".

York RLFC 'Knights' and 'Valkyrie' chocolate bars will be on sale from York's Chocolate Story and the York RLFC Club Shop from Monday 29th July.

On the 7th August, a special launch of which York RLFC invites all to attend at York's Chocolate Story will take place from 12-4pm featuring Knights and Valkyrie players plus plenty of chocolate!
