Wooden Spoon is the children’s charity of rugby, funding life-changing projects across the UK and Ireland to support children and young people with disabilities or facing disadvantage.

Research shows that 1 in 10 children in the UK and Ireland have a disability and there are 3.5 million children in the UK living in poverty. These numbers continue to rise and more and more children need our help.

Our vision is that through the power of rugby, every child and young person has access to the same opportunities.

We will be raising money specifically for Dogs For Good.

Their vision

We train our assistance dogs to help adults and children lead more independent lives, at home and in the community around them.

We provide advice and support to people who want a pet dog that can help them overcome specific challenges within their family.

We train and support community dogs and their specialist handlers to work in activity and therapy in communities and schools.

We continually explore new ways that our assistance dogs and more can help people.
