The Children's Charity of Rugby

Wooden Spoon is the rugby community's dedicated children's charity, transforming the lives of children and young people through the power of rugby.

Operating across the UK and Ireland for over 40 years, Wooden Spoon supporters have consistently raised more than £3 million annually through events, donations, and challenges.

The charity provides grants to local organisations that help improve opportunities for children and young people living with disabilities, facing disadvantage, or disengaged from society.

One of Wooden Spoon’s remarkable initiatives includes funding sensory rooms in stadiums like Twickenham. These quiet spaces are designed for children and families with autism and other neurodiverse needs, enabling them to enjoy the game in a supportive environment tailored to their sensory requirements.

What sets Wooden Spoon apart is its regional approach.

The UK and Ireland are divided into regions, and the money raised within each region is invested back into that community. This means that funds raised by Billericay RFC directly support projects in the local area, ensuring the impact is felt where it matters most.
