Tag Rugby Trust - Who are we?

The Tag Rugby Trust is a rugby based charity that was formed in 2002. It exists to help improve the lives of children in some of the poorest regions of the world. We currently work with orphanages and government schools in India, Zambia, Uganda and Kenya using the game of Tag Rugby as our vehicle. We fund our tours through volunteers who pay to join the adventure and who work closely with the children in a coaching capacity. Almost without exception our volunteers say that the tour is a life changing experience for them.

We know that we make a difference to the lives, not only of the children we coach, but also the volunteers and friends of the Trust. We are passionate rugby people and we know the power it has to break down barriers and to create life long friendships. Above all, we believe that these positive experiences should be not only for the developed world but to growing “rugby nations” who don’t currently have the resources or opportunity to introduce children to the game. We provide that opportunity. In fact, taking this philosophy to the places we do to is arguably the most important ruby export that we can think of.Our values are many but in essence they revolve around these:

•Respect

•Teamwork

•Creating friendships

•Breaking down social & geographical barriers

•Co-operation between different communities

•Tolerance

•Exploring & accepting different cultures

•Achievement & fulfilment

My story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I am travelling to Uganda in July 09 on behalf of the Tag Rugby Development Trust (TRDT). The TRDT have been doing tours to Uganda (and more recently Zambia and India) since 2001, to bring tag rugby to the local schools. They coach the children to play and host a tournament at the end of the tour. They also coach the teachers how to coach and leave rugby equipment at the schools for the work to continue.

Mike Vallance from Old Leams has kindly donated some shirts and tag equipment for the trip! Therefore, my target has gone down. Thanks so much to him.

Watch this space for more details but in the meantime donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Tag Rugby Development Trust gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Any help would be gratefully received.
