Thank you for choosing to fundraise for Wooden Spoon 

The money you raise will go to support life-changing projects supporting vulnerable children in your local area. This means that it could be a friend or family member of one of your students who directly benefit from this work.

This is an exciting time to be joining the Wooden Spoon community – it’s our 40th birthday! This means that there are some extra special campaigns and events that you and your students can be part of.

Ways to get involved in our 40th year!

  1. Non uniform days – a great chance to raise money for us. You can make it more interesting by asking students to wear the Wooden Spoon colours or their favourite sports shirt.
  2. Art competition – in partnership with Rugby school, where half of the profit will go to their new 1823 bursary. The top 50 winning entries from each age group will have an image of their artwork displayed on a giant rugby ball in the town centre of Rugby, Warwickshire. The winner of each age group will also be invited to Rugby School on Saturday 24 June 2023 to watch a re-enactment of the game and have tea in our hospitality tent. In addition, the winner of each age group will be invited a to watch Wasps train.
  3. The world’s biggest scrum – give your students the chance to be world record breakers! On Sunday 23rd April 2023 we will be attempting our own world record of the world’s largest uncontested rugby scrum on the hallowed pitch, The Close, Rugby School. The current world record is 2,586 people, so we are looking for 3,000 school children aged between 10 and 17 (18 if still at school) to help us achieve this huge feat.
