Gift Membership

Looking for a meaningful gift that gives back? A Wooden Spoon Gift Membership is a wonderful way to celebrate someone who loves rugby while supporting children and young people living with disabilities or facing disadvantage across the UK and Ireland. So whether it’s for Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day or a birthday – it could be the perfect present to treat someone you know.

For £60, your recipient will enjoy a full year of Wooden Spoon membership – joining a community united by a shared belief in changing children’s lives through the power of rugby. Alongside exclusive member benefits, they’ll receive a beautifully presented membership pack, containing a welcome gift of your choice.

Every Gift Membership directly supports Wooden Spoon’s work as the children’s charity of rugby. We are a grant-making charity funding life-changing projects that help children and young people who need us most. In the past year, through the 150 projects we’ve been able to fund, this has helped us support 60,436 children and young people living with disabilities and facing disadvantage across the UK and Ireland. However, we want to help more. Currently, we can only approve around 1 in 10 of the project applications we receive.

By choosing a Wooden Spoon Gift Membership, you’re giving more than a thoughtful present – you’re helping us reach more children and young people who need support, inclusion and opportunities to thrive.

What your recipient will receive with their one year annual £60 Gift Membership:

  • A welcome gift – presented in our Membership box, includes Spoonews magazine, a window sticker and a gift with membership (one from selection, as chosen by you)
  • Monthly e-Spoonews with details of campaigns and projects
  • Invitations to regional events
  • Membership draws to win tickets and other prizes
  • Bi-annual Spoonews magazine
  • Being part of the Rugby community
