🚨 Young people deserve better. And we're trying to do something about it.

TackleLondon works directly with schools to connect young Londoners to their local community rugby clubs — giving them somewhere to go, something to belong to, and people who care. 🏉

If you know a young person who could benefit, get in touch. 👇

🏉 What a night at the Academy! ⚡
Our The Matt Ratana Rugby Foundation U15s took on East Grinstead RFC U15s last week in another cracking evening of rugby - and what a performance it was.

With the scores level at 10-10 at half time, the boys dug deep and finished strong.

Full Time: Matt Ratana 20 – 41 East Grinstead U15s

Only 5 of these lads had ever played a proper contact game of rugby at U15 level before. To put in a performance like that? Absolutely outstanding. 🙌

Tries from Moses (x2) ⚡, Stefan & Jermaine - and the team voted their MVPs as Moses & Stefan. Well deserved, lads.

Brilliant attitude from start to finish. We couldn't be more proud of this group. The future is bright! 💙

🤝 "I kind of got myself into situations – bad situations – that I shouldn't have been in."

— Jonathan, 15, TackleLondon Player

No judgement. No labels. Just a door that's always open.

TackleLondon is a space where young Londoners can come as they are - connect with others, build real friendships, and spend their time somewhere that builds them up instead of pulling them down. 🏉

Because when young people have somewhere to belong, everything changes.

Sometimes a message lands in your inbox and it just stops you in your tracks. 💙

This is what TackleLondon is for. For the young people still waiting for their moment. We see you. And we're glad you found rugby. 🏉

“Sport has the power to change lives — it gave me hope where there was none.” — Siya Kolisi

Siya Kolisi did not grow up with safety nets. He grew up with hunger, instability, and very few reasons to believe the future would look different from the present. Rugby did not erase those realities - but it opened a door. It gave him structure, people who believed in him, and a reason to keep going when hope was in short supply.

That is the version of sport we believe in at TackleLondon. Not sport as a trophy cabinet, but sport as a first door, a steady presence, and a place where belief can start.

Sometimes, that is enough to change everything.

School ✅ Club ✅ World Cup Final at Twickenham ✅ Matt Ratana Schools Showcase ✅

Meet Josephine and Julia. They started their rugby journey through TackleLondon - going from school sessions to joining a club, to being there at Twickenham for the Women's Rugby World Cup Final. Recently, they came full circle pulling on the shirt and playing in the Matt Ratana Academy Girls Showcase.

From watching the best players in the world to being out there on the pitch themselves. That's the journey TackleLondon tries to create for every young person who walks through the door. Incredible. 🌟🏉

💚 When Jonathan has a tough day, his coaches notice. They check in. They show up.

TackleLondon isn't just for the young people on the pitch — it's a support network for whole families and communities. Accessible, local, and always in your corner. 🏉
