Nelson Mandela famously said that sport has the power to change the world, and here in the local community the HKRU Community Foundation has been busy over the past 7 years using sport as a medium to tackle social issues and positively impact on the lives of thousands of youngsters.

Many of us who have recently benefitted from the HK$10,000 Government payment will be considering making a charitable donation, we hope you’ll consider HKRU CF, a local section 88 charity, where we put every dollar to work! If your company has a matching employee donation scheme, why not take advantage of that - double your dollars, double the impact.

Here’s how your support could help;

- $800 pays for a former correctional institute inmate to increase their employability via a 3 month rugby training and vocational course

- $1,000 will help a deaf child develop their confidence in interacting with the hearing community over the course of 1.5 weeks through rugby practices, events and competitions

- $2,000 covers two children with ADHD for a 1.5 month course aimed at enhancing self-regulation abilities through rugby training

- $4,000 pays for two domestic helpers to build their support network within Hong Kong over six months, improving their overall well-being

- $5,000 cover the needs of five special needs children for 1.5 months, providing a chance to get active in a safe environment

- $6,000 will help two underprivileged children develop future life skills e.g. resilience through regular rugby training for a year

- $8,000 covers 15 refugees, facilitating networking within the rugby community, creating new social circles and increasing opportunities to become constructive members of the HK community through a 2.5 month rugby training course

- $10,000 pays for 30 primary school students to improve and gain more confidence in their English abilities through a 1.5 month rugby English training course
