Our Impact
We are delighted to support a number of exceptionally deserving causes, who have made an enduring and tangible difference within the rugby community.
Our Success
The Wasps Legends Charitable Foundation was founded in 2012 with the sole aim of giving back to a remarkable community. We quickly realised that our speciality lay in creating and developing events that people wanted to attend, with the joint benefit of raising significant funds for deserving causes.
We now collaborate with charities, not for profits and individuals who align with our vision & mission. Our preference remains to support smaller organisations that can substantively benefit from our grant funding.
Amount Raised
The Foundation has raised over £600,00 in charitable funds since it's inception in 2012.
Charities Supported
The Foundation has supported 70 charities over the previous 11 years, which range from local, national to overseas intiatives.
Our Causes
The Foundation has supported a wide range of causes, which we have condensed into three main categories; Health, Support and Rugby related initiatives.
