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

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I first went to Zambia in 2006 and was given an amazing experience, the tour proved to be an overwhelming success. I have been offer the unique opportunity to return to Zambia to see how the project has evolved and to be involved in the ongoing development of rugby in this country.

As for people in the UK Rugby is not just a sport it is a powerful tool which can be used as a vehicle to address many challenges faced by the young people of Zambia and across the African nations and this is why the continued work is so important.
