Homeless Rugby

Homeless Rugby builds strong partnerships between rugby clubs & local homeless charities to help create positive sporting opportunities.

The mission

A society free from homelessness.

The vision

To transform the quality of life and opportunities of homeless people, using rugby as a catalyst to promote greater understanding, collaboration and support and by promoting lasting and life-enhancing relationships through clubs and charities.

The values

Homeless Rugby believes that giving people opportunities to regularly train and play rugby can inspire and empower individuals to realise their full potential, directly improving participants’ health, discipline, communication skills and self-respect.

The organisation believes participation in grassroots rugby can also be a catalyst for people experiencing homelessness to engage more effectively with wider support services related to health, education, training and employment.

This opportunity can help enable some of the most vulnerable people in society transform their life through rugby.
