About Us

We are a charity committed to creating meaningful, lasting change for young people facing barriers to education, wellbeing, and opportunity. Our work is grounded in compassion, evidence-based practice, and a belief that every young person deserves access to support that empowers them to thrive.

At the heart of our approach is the RugbyWorks programme, founded by rugby legend Lawrence Dallaglio. This initiative demonstrates how sport can be a powerful vehicle for personal growth, building resilience, self-confidence, and life skills in young people who need it most. By combining structured rugby sessions with mentoring, educational guidance, and ongoing support, RugbyWorks has supported hundreds of young people in the UK, proving that engagement through sport can lead to lasting social and educational outcomes.

Building on the proven impact of Dallaglio RugbyWorks, we will bring the same values and approach to young people here in Victoria, Australia.

RugbyWorks Victoria adapts this internationally recognised model to our local context, using rugby as a tool to engage, inspire, and open doors for young people who might otherwise be left behind. Through structured sessions, positive role models, and long-term guidance, we will help them develop resilience, life skills, and meaningful pathways toward education, training and employment.

 

What we do

Through partnerships with schools, community organisations and passionate mentors, we deliver programmes that not only develop rugby skills but also foster teamwork, discipline, and a sense of belonging.

We believe that every young person deserves a positive role model and the chance to reach their full potential, and sport gives us a uniquely powerful way to make that happen.
