Wooden Spoon is the children’s charity of rugby, funding life-changing projects across the UK and Ireland to support children and young people with disabilities or facing disadvantage.

Research shows that 1 in 10 children in the UK and Ireland have a disability and there are 3.5 million children in the UK living in poverty. These numbers continue to rise and more and more children need our help.

1 in 3 children who live in poverty – That’s 4.3 million children. The pass the plate initiative provides donations to breakfast clubs and food banks to ensure children don’t go hungry and have the energy to learn and play.
