Wooden Spoon is the children’s charity of rugby. We are a grant-making charity and fund life-changing

We’re proud to have funded StrongHER Futures, a new programme delivered by Inspire2box in Nelson, supporting vulnerable girls aged 11–17 across Pendle and its diverse communities.

Through weekly boxercise, fitness, non-contact boxing and group mentoring, the programme gives girls a safe and supportive environment to build confidence, manage emotions, develop resilience and make positive choices.

As Naveed Akram, who leads Inspire2box, puts it: “These sessions are not aggressive, they’re empowering.”
Our support will provide essential kit and protective equipment, alongside coaching costs, helping StrongHER Futures give young people the opportunity to develop skills, stability and a stronger sense of self-belief.

We’re delighted to support Inspire2box and the important work they’re doing in the community.

Our latest project, the Sensory Garden at Charles Saer School, Fleetwood, was officially opened last week by our Honorary President, Sir Bill Beaumont GBE.

Located in one of the most deprived areas, not only on the Fylde Coast but in the UK, the school has already seen the positive impact this wonderful quiet space is having on its children. In the words of the Headteacher, "This project has changed our children's lives!"

We hope that many more children will enjoy this garden for years to come, and we thank all the individuals and businesses who have contributed to the cost of this project by supporting our recent events.

Wooden Spoon Charity Fylde Rugby Community Foundation

Last Saturday we celebrated our partnership with Fylde Rugby Football Club and the Fylde Rugby Community Foundation; with the Fylde 1st XV wearing Wooden Spoon socks. In a close fought game, Fylde secured a late 31-24 win over their opponents Rossendale Rugby Club.
Fylde also celebrated their final home game of the season with their original ‘Where will the Moo Poo?’ fundraiser...a bizarre site to see a bull, cow and calf roaming the pitch after the match, but we all loved it!

It was recently our Annual Charity Lunch at Fylde Rugby Football Club, part of our partnership with the rugby club and the Fylde Rugby Community Foundation.
Another sell-out event with 210 guests, welcomed by Martin Long and Mark Cadley of Wooden Spoon, before being royally entertained by All Black legend Andrew Mehrtens and MC Pete Emmett. Andrew even had the whole room on their feet performing the Haka.
We also heard about the Foundation’s work from Phill Mills, along with insights from Sir Bill Beaumont and former England coach, Brian Ashton MBE.
A huge thank you to everyone who supported the event and to our sponsors Ormrods Solicitors & Advocates Ltd, Handelsbanken, Wareing Buildings, Tower Insurance Brokers and Simpson Judge.
An incredible £18,000 was raised, all going towards local projects supporting disadvantaged and vulnerable children and young people. Wooden Spoon Charity
