Our vision

We are a charitable foundation dedicated to changing lives through the spirit of rugby.

Since 2012, the Wasps Legends Charitable Foundation has provided funding and partnerships to a number of exceptionally deserving causes.

Our goal is to ensure that we have the greatest impact possible and to enact enduring and transformational change through our charitable collaborations. We offer a range of grants, which are individually assessed on their merits, and applicants must operate within our chosen themes.

Our commitment to you

Millimetres 2 Mountains

Wasps Legends announce Long Lunch grant recipient

We are delighted to announce that the Wasps Legends Long Lunch Event Grant recipient for 2024 is the excellent Millimetres 2 Mountains! Millimetres 2 Mountains was founded by former Wasp Ed Jackson and his wife Lois Jackson, following an accident that rendered Ed paralysed from the shoulders down. From being told that he would never walk again to summiting Mont Buet 18 months later, Ed’s story is one of incredible determination & inspiration. What Ed, Lois & the team at Millimetres 2 Mountains have built in the face of such adversity defies belief: a loving, thriving support network built on adventure and community, as well as a development programme refined and bolstered by a team of industry leading experts. Millimetres 2 Mountains are hugely deserving recipients of this grant, and we look forward to seeing them continue changing lives.
