The video begins with two logos.
The Buddle logo sits at the top of the screen, the Sport England logo is below.
The title ‘Values and Culture’ is at the bottom of the screen and the background is white.
An upbeat, dramatic backing track plays throughout the video and subtitles appear throughout.
The white background remains, and on-screen text appears centrally. It reads ‘We visited Portico Vine Amateur Rugby League Football Club (ARLFC) to find out about their values and culture’.
The screen then pans across the top of a club house which displays the Portico Vine ARLFC logo. It is green with yellow text and has a coat of arms including a ram, harp, red cross, red plus sign, and a knight’s helmet.
The screen changes to show a green brick building which displays a number of signs showcasing the clubs’ partners, rules, health and safety information and the Portico Vine logo. The building has flood lights attached to it.
During these shots of the facilities the voice of Mark Hobin, club chairman, can be heard, he says ‘Portico Vine is a community rugby league club based on the border of St Helens and Knowsley in Merseyside’.
The shot changes and pans across the clubhouse again. It displays a green and yellow sign with Portico Vine ARLFC emblazoned across the top and 'Working with the community, for the community - one team, one dream' underneath. The screen changes to show Mark speaking and he continues to say:
‘We are more than a community rugby league club though, we actively work alongside our community to better the lives of our members, both on and off the pitch, broaden their horizons, you know, instil respect, instil confidence and just provide a platform for people to maximise what they want to bring to a party, what they want to be involved with rugby league or within the community hub. People from all sorts of walks of life can come together under one roof with that commonality.’
A lower third banner appears; it has the Buddle logo on the left and the text 'Mark Hobin, Chairman, Portico Vine ARLFC' on the right.
Mark is wearing a Portico Vine t-shirt, which is green and gold, and is standing in the clubhouse with the bar and some tables, chairs and trophies visible behind him.
Whilst Mark is talking the shot changes to show a volunteer clearing some litter from the field and placing it into a bin, a younger volunteer sweeping the front entrance, and a volunteer organising some rugby equipment.
The shot returns to Mark in the clubhouse:
‘It’s the things you do for yourself are gone when you’re gone, but the things you do for others will forever be your legacy. We came up with working with the community, i.e. alongside them, for the community.’
As Mark is talking the image on the screen returns to the volunteer organising rugby equipment, and a coach carrying and laying out equipment onto the rugby pitches.
The graphic is blurred out before 'Community-led' appears in white letters centrally on the screen.
The voice of Philip Glover is then heard: ‘Portico Vine and my ethos, they synergise, they come together really well because it’s people-based.’
As Philip is talking, the heading disappears, and an image becomes clear.
A coach is attaching protective cases around the posts on the rugby pitch.
The image changes to show Philip speaking to the camera. He is standing at the top of the rugby pitches and some people can be seen in the distance behind him.
A lower third banner appears once more with the Buddle logo on the left and the text 'Philip Glover, Director, PTG Educational Services & People Empowered CIC' on the right.
Philip continues: ‘If you care about people and go out of your way to make sure you’re thinking of others before you think of yourselves, that for me is how life should be lived, and the club do that on a day-to-day basis.’
A coach is then shown in slow motion placing cones alongside a rugby pitch.
The shot then changes to show Rachel Welsh wearing a black t-shirt stood in front of the clubhouse talking to the camera.
A lower third banner appears; it has the Buddle logo on the left and the text 'Rachel Welsh, Volunteer, Willowbrook Hospice' on the right.
She starts by saying: ‘With the community, for the community ethos that Portico Vine has works really, really well with what Willowbrook want to do. Willowbrook are a hospice, but we have a programme which is, Willowbrook without walls. We do a lot of work within the community as well. Working with a club that is run by volunteers, again similar to us it all just aligns very well, our values go hand in hand and there is a lot of mutual benefits to this relationship.’
As Rachel is talking the image changes to show a group of boys playing rugby on the pitch. Three of the boys are wear green and yellow kits, whilst another boy is wearing a blue kit.
Rachel stops talking and the image changes to show a blurred group of hands with the word 'Transparent' central in large white text. The shot zooms out and is in slow motion as a coach and a group of players raise their hands and the image becomes clear.
The video moves on to show Billy Vaughan standing in front of the busy clubhouse addressing the camera.
Billy is also wearing a green and yellow Portico Vine t-shirt. A lower third banner appears with the Buddle logo and the text 'Billy Vaughan, Community Hub Leader, Portico Vine ARLFC' on the right.
Billy says: ‘Is this what we believe in? Is this what the goal in our life is? And it is. We do believe that everybody is equal at the club and everybody has a role to play and everybody can enact that role to the best of their ability, given the chance.’
As Billy is talking, the shot changes to show a slow-motion shot of a rugby scrum; spectators can be seen in the background. The shot returns to Billy speaking in front of the clubhouse.
Billy continues to say: ‘Without positive engagement, we wouldn’t have got here. The leadership from the very top of Portico Vine from the chairman to the latest recruit who we got yesterday, everybody buys into it, you have to buy into the ethos. You have to buy into the philosophy and it stems from positive engagement.’
As Billy is talking the shot changes to show a slow-motion shot of a coach giving instructions to a group of players. The shot then changes to show a slow-motion shot of a group of players involved in a tackle.
The shot returns to Mark speaking in the clubhouse.
Mark says: ‘Through negotiation, through clear communications, transparency and honesty, we all came together and shared our vision for the future.’
Whilst Mark is talking, the footage shows a young player hugging their coach before the same player goes to hug a teammate.
The shot blurs as the heading Safe appears centrally in white letters across the screen. This image becomes clear as the heading disappears.
The shot then changes to show a new voice, Nick Dyer, stood in front of the clubhouse. He is standing in front of the clubhouse which is busy with people. As Nick is talking, a lower third banner appears with the Buddle logo to the left and the text 'Nick Dyer, General Manager, Teardrops' to the right.
Nick starts to say: ‘What’s attracted us is they have the same ethos as us. They’re very community based. We have to work within our community and support the people who we deal with. And again, I think Portico do the same amongst their children, they’re watching the players, they’re understanding what’s going on within the families and the community as much as what’s going on, on the pitch.’
Whilst Nick is talking, the shot changes to show a slow-motion shot of a player speaking to other players within a huddle.
The video returns to Mark in the clubhouse.
Mark says: ‘I think if you look after your people, they’ll look after you. And so for me personally, heading up this rugby club is one of the proudest moments of my life.’
As Mark is speaking the image changes to show a female volunteer, wearing a Portico Vine t-shirt, cooking burgers in a kitchen.
The shot then changes to show a blurred image of players with the word 'Inclusive' written in large white text in the middle of the screen.
The shot returns to show the volunteer cooking in kitchen; the back of her shirt reads 'Portico' at the top and the phrase 'One team, one dream' in the middle of the shirt.
The shot then moves to show a new voice, David Hobin. He is wearing a Portico Vine t-shirt, talking to the camera outside of the clubhouse. As David begins talking, a lower third banner appears with the Buddle logo on and the text 'David Hobin, Project Manager, Portico Vine ARLFC' next to it.
David: ‘One team one dream means to me - inclusivity. It means everybody pulling in the same direction. It means that everybody wants to get involved, can get involved and so that strapline is something that pulls us all together.’
As David is talking, the screen begins to pan across the Portico Vine ‘Panthers’ team logo on the clubhouse wall; this sits above a sign reading 'Portico Vine Loyal Partners' and some gold plaques with organisations' names engraved on them.
The camera shows a different wall with a green sign with yellow text reading 'Every child has the right to shine regardless of their ability'.
Billy begins talking over this shot and while talking, the shot changes to show him standing in front of the clubhouse addressing the camera: ‘We have a philosophy that every child has the right to shine, regardless of their ability, and that goes for adults as well. There’s somebody out there who sits in on their own day after day. They could be with your club, helping you to do things better.’
The camera then follows a coach through the clubs changing facilities. A coach enters a changing room that has Portico Vine’s logo mounted on the wall surrounded by pictures of members, events and families. The logo includes another tagline, 'Hearts of lions', above it. The coach is seen hanging kit up in the changing room.
The shot then shows a young player in front of the clubhouse, in kit, speaking directly to the camera: ‘In this Portico Vine family’,
David, stood in front of the clubhouse says: ‘we are all a team,’
The shot changes to show Mark inside the clubhouse; he says: ‘we help each other grow, we communicate,’
The shot turns to Billy stood in front of the clubhouse as he says: ‘we laugh,’
The shot then moves inside the clubhouse to show three female volunteers sat around a table; they are all wearing Portico Vine t-shirts.
From left to right the women say: ‘and we play, we build one another up, we explore,’
The screen then zooms out on an image of a young Portico Vine boys’ team and their coach.
Gradually, six more images surround the team of different volunteers, and parents laughing and smiling. These images form a collage on screen. Mark's voice can be heard: ‘we dream big, and most of all, we care.’
At the end of this line, the frame returns to Mark addressing the camera in the clubhouse. The music fades out.
The screen turns white, the Buddle logo appears centrally at the top, underneath it the Sport England, National Lottery, and Portico Vine logos appear.
Beneath this reads www.buddle.co and www.sportengland.org.
The video ends.
