ABOUT THE CHARITIES
SINCE it's launch in 2002, the Tag Rugby Trust has grown and evolved into an organisation working in the UK and eight developing countries.
TRT uses rugby as a vehicle to "Build Futures" by providing relevant and challenging opportunities for children and adults alike.
Sustainability and local ownership is central to TRT. They help to build the structures that will ensure long term sustainability of our programmes.
2002 Pilot UK volunteer tour to Uganda combining outreach and rugby
2005 Registers as charity (TRDT) to "Introduce children to rugby"
2006 First multi tour year with tours to Zambia and India
2007 First School tour to Uganda (Mill Hill School)
2008 Winner of IRB Development Award
2009 Rebrand to TRT with strapline "Building Futures Through Rugby"
2011 Over 1000 teachers and 35,000 children taught / coached on Volunteer tours
2012 Launch of TRT Sustainability Model in Kenya, Zimbabwe and Uganda
The Shift from "Introducing Rugby to Building Futures
In the ten years that TRT has existed there has been a distinct shift in the focus of our programmes. Initially the tours aimed primarily to coach children how to play tag rugby and the pinnacle of achievement was to host a tournament day.
As they returned to schools and communities for the second and third time we encountered students from previous years that were keen to stay involved. TRT provided an opportunity for them to coach younger children and instantly saw them developing a range of useful and valuable skills.
The realisation of what the programme could offer young leaders and adults alike has formed the basis of our accreditation pathway. Tag Rugby is still the vehicle and tournaments are still a highlight of the programme, but the focus of TRT's work is firmly on developing skills applicable beyond the rugby pitch.
