Dallaglio Foundation Rugby for Change

The Dallaglio Foundation Rugby for Change is a UK based sustainable industry-leading project, targeting young people who lack the support in their lives to make the most of their talents. Young people at risk are given the opportunity to play rugby on their doorstep and become part of a team while tackling social issues from youth crime, to lack of engagement in education. By 2015, the aim of the program is to have a profound impact on the aspirations and self-esteem of around 2,000 young people who are at risk of making the wrong life choices.

As a team, Polarice are concerned about the number of young people in the UK who are making these wrong decisions. Having witnessed at first hand the work of Dallaglio Foundation Rugby for Change, we are passionate about their project. www.dallagliofoundationrugbyforchange.com
