Wooden Spoon, the children's charity of rugby

Why we need you

  • There are currently 7% of children living with a disability and 30% of children living in poverty in the UK & Ireland.
  • Every year, we fund around 100 life-changing projects. However, the need is growing and there is still so much more we can do.
  • We want every child and young person, no matter what their background to have access to the same opportunities.

The benefits to you.

  • You’ll have fun and will meet some truly inspiring people along the way.
  • Every penny you raise in your local area will fund projects locally. This enables you to see the impact you are having on children and young people living near you.
