Story
We are excited to announce that Europe’s largest independent telecommunications retailer, Carphone Warehouse, has chosen to fundraise for the Dallaglio Foundation.
With the values and discipline learnt through a simple street-rugby concept, Dallaglio Foundation Rugby for Change offers disadvantaged young people the opportunities, new skillset and support to make the best of their lives. Our programme demonstrates how a long term, properly focussed intervention can help them develop a sense of team work, identity, and pride.
Carphone Warehouse’s vision is to make people’s lives better through connected technology and – in association with us – they are about to make lives ‘fitter’ through technology too. Over the summer, Carphone Warehouse employees will engage in a variety of fundraising sports and activities, including an invitation-only VIP tennis tournament on the 17th July at Queen's Club pitting the company's top seeds against their corporate partners.
And on the 8th August 2013, the second anniversary of the height of the London Riots, CPW stores employees - and their customers - will participate in a national ‘Game Changing Day’.
Employees will wear their sports kit to work and to participate in a range of in-store/onsite tournaments and fun games led by our Dallaglio Foundation Rugby for Change coaches. Rugby, football, netball, beach volley ball, dodgeball… They’ll be encouraging everybody to have fun and in the process, help raise vital funds for Dallaglio Foundation Rugby for Change.
Let the games BEGIN!
