Wooden Spoon, The Children's Charity of Rugby

Transforming children's lives through the power of rugby


Wooden Spoon is the children’s charity of rugby who fund life-changing projects across the UK & Ireland. With the support of the rugby community from grass roots local clubs to the national unions, over the last 40 years we’ve funded £32 million in grants and changed the lives of 2 million children and young people living with disabilities, disadvantaged or disenfranchised.

But we need your help more than ever as more children need our help.
