Raising money for Tag Rugby Trust

Charity Registration No. 1108947

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

In October 2010, Jim and Ollie will set a unique record - by passing a rugby ball as many times as possible as they climb Mount Kilimanjaro - the Sunshine Mountain - a 19,330 ft hike.

They are doing this to raise money for two charities, the TAG Rugby Development trust and Water Aid, as well as for the sheer endeavour of pushing themselves to the limit.

Thanks

Jim & Ollie
