Through sport, mentorship, and safe spaces like our Alternative Learning Hub, we help young people develop the resilience and self-belief to thrive. 💙 Your support during the Big Give is already changing lives, but mental health needs ongoing action.

🎉 2024: A year of growth, impact & community at Bath Rugby Foundation As the festive season approaches, we’re taking a moment to reflect on an incredible year of progress and positivity. From life-changing moments for young people at our Alternative Learning Hub to the growth of our inclusive Sport For All programmes like our Hi5! Clubs — it’s been a year filled with impact, empowerment, and community spirit. Highlights of 2024 include: 👉 Launching our 2023/24 Impact Report, showcasing how we help young people build confidence, develop life skills, and create pathways to independence. 👉 Raising vital funds through the Big Give Christmas Challenge, thanks to our close relationship with Bath Rugby and Bath Rugby Supporters' Club, and dedicated work by Halena Coury, Sarah Tarling and David Trick. 👉 Supporting the next generation of rugby talent with the upcoming Beppu, Japan trip for Bath RFC U15s and St Mark’s School students, made possible by Premiership Rugby funding secured by our Community & Assets Manager, Alex Randall. 👉 Continuing to create life-changing opportunities through our BOOST and ADVANTAGE programmes, led by our incredible Alternative Learning Coaches, Officer, and Manager, Jonathan Wood. 👉 The ongoing growth of our community rugby initiatives; Mixed Ability Rugby, supported by our amazing Community Coaches, and Community Inclusion Officer Jack Hill. None of this would have been possible without the dedication of our incredible staff, supporters, volunteers, and Trustees — and the leadership of our CEO, Lynne Fernquest, who has been a driving force behind our growth this year. 🙌 We invite you to take a moment to read our 2024 Year in Review — a celebration of the powerful work we do with young people in our community. It’s a chance to look back on the partnerships we’ve built, the lives we’ve changed, and the impact we’ll continue to make together. 📖 Read the review here: https://lnkd.in/erba_4ii Thank you to every donor, supporter, and partner who has been part of our journey this year.

🚍 “No ticket, no education.” When a family can’t afford the bus fare, their child misses out on learning. Bath Rugby Foundation removes this barrier, providing transport support and ensuring students can access education. 💙 Your Big Give support has allowed us to keep kids in the classroom, not stuck at home. Let's keep closing the gap together. 👉 Join us in building a brighter future for every child: https://lnkd.in/eutT8RBz #CloseTheGap #educationforall #bathrugbyfoundation

📣 "No child should go hungry."

Excited to see where this partnership takes us! 🏉🤍 #Community #BootExchange #BathRugbyFoundation #AllOfUs
