Wooden Spoon is a grant-making charity that aims to transform the lives of vulnerable children and young people through the funding and support of the rugby community. It supports projects that will benefit children and young people under 25 years of age who are disadvantaged physically, mentally or socially. Projects must normally be of a capital nature, with a reasonably long-term prospective lifetime.
The funding is for projects that address the following areas:
- health and wellbeing
- sensory rooms and gardens
- specialist equipment and facilities
- playgrounds and outdoor activities
- education projects
Note that if a project is educational, health and wellbeing or disability sports focused, there must be a key sporting element – preferably rugby – to engage children and young people.
Organisations with a legal status such as schools, charities and clubs can apply. There are no minimum or maximum grant levels.
