Changing Lives Through Rugby in Luton

We remove barriers and open the game to every child. Through providing free in school coaching, holiday clubs, kits, and financial support. So we can ensure no child is left on the sidelines.

The Problem

In Luton, nearly 40% of children live in poverty, with figures rising above 60% in some local wards. For these families, club fees and kit are insurmountable barriers. We believe rugby should reflect our community, yet girls and ethnically diverse groups remain significantly underrepresented. We are here to change that.
