Our Organisation
  The Foundation, which was founded through a generosity of an anonymous English benefactor following the 2003 Rugby World Cup in Australia, commenced operations in 2005.  It has been endorsed as a Public Benevolent Institution with Deductible Gift Recipient status by the Australian Tax Office (this means all donations over $2.00 can be claimed as tax deductions) and is an income tax exempt charity. It is governed by a Board of Trustees and receives expert advice and support from a range of individuals and organisations.

What we do
  We run programs for young people living in troubled or disadvantaged areas.  The programs aim to overcome social exclusion and to build self-esteem, resilience and team spirit in young participants, as well as providing leadership opportunities for older students to become coaches and mentors and leaders in their communities.  As well, the programs provides pathways to further training and qualifications. 

We hold events throughout the year to raise awareness of, and funds for, our programs.

Why we do it
   The reality is that many young people face significant barriers to participation in activities that most of us take for granted.  For young Australians living in depressed areas the problems of poverty, homelessness and social exclusion are a daily reality.  We aim to reach out and engage these children, who are also often deprived of material objects and support.

Who we are
  The Foundation's Trustees and advisors are representative of the broader community, with expertise in business, youth advocacy, communications and not for profit organisations.

Who supports us
  PricewaterhouseCoopers Legal and PricewaterhouseCoopers, Macquarie Bank Sports, Qantas, NSW Rugby Union, Wests Leagues Club (Campbelltown), the Coca Cola Australia Foundation, St George Foundation, West Dubbo Bowling Club, Strategy Design & Advertising and the Dominion Printing Group.
