Story

<p>This summer on behalf of the Tag Rugby Trust i am going out to Uganda. The Tag Rugby Trust is a non profit organisation that not only works to improve lives of children in the UK but overseas in some of the poorest regions of the world through the sport of rugby.</p> <p><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">To date the TRT have introduced over 7.000 public primary school children to rugby and have directly continued to teach 84 teachers and 60 local Ugandan rugby volunteer enthusiasts on how to coach the game and the coaching and referee techniques required to continue coaching. Other achievements so far include: Two</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">&nbsp;Tag Rugby Development officers employed in Kampala and beyond &ndash; other coaches financially supported in other areas
Over 4000 Children taught Rugby (Just the ones in the schools)
16 Teachers directly taught in a Teacher Training Programme
Over 50 Teachers have been through a Teacher Training programme run by our Employee in Kampala
12 Ugandan Rugby Coaches tutored on how to coach &amp; coaching techniques
TRDT created a Mini Rugby scene at the Kampala clubs, extended this to local schools and is now replicating this in Jinja, Mbale and Entebbe.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">So you can see any donations, as large or as little as you like will really make a difference to the lives of the children.
