Harlequin Ladies are also kept busy off the pitch, often in the support of local fundraising events. These have included the record breaking abseil's off of Twickenham Stadium & Canary Wharf for Cancer Research UK, and supporting the main club in their charity events. To promote and encourage participation in girls' rugby the Ladies have held frequent 'coaching clinics' open to all participants. In June 2007 Harlequin Ladies provided coaching and managed the London Borough of Richmond's Girls Tag-team, who were victorious at the London Youth Games. In 2008/09 season, one of the youth coaches assisted the girls' Rugby Coach at Heathland School to further develop their school team, continuing Quins Ladies' tradition of active involvement with their community. Additionally, each year Quins Ladies pick a charity to get involved with, most notably as a beneficiary of their annual Club Raffle.

Famous quotes containing the word community:
“... to a poet, the human community is like the community of birds to a bird, singing to each other. Love is one of the reasons we are singing to one another, love of language itself, love of sound, love of singing itself, and love of the other birds.”
—Sharon Olds (b. 1942)
