The Atlas Foundation exists to help care, support and guide deprived children towards a better future. 

It is a launchpad for good that enables local projects in the UK and around the world to make a tangible impact on the daily lives of young people who suffer from extreme hardships. 

Atlas aims to help children that have been subjected to horrifying suffering whether it be malnourishment, disease, sex trafficking, rape, extreme inequality, or violence. 

Working with our partners, we use rugby initiatives to deliver health, education, and inclusion programmes. So far, we have provided safe havens offering food, clean water, teaching, coaching and guidance to over 200,000 children in dire need.

Watch now- The Atlas Foundation: Who are We?

Our ‘Rugby+’ model has been developed alongside local communities to harness the power of rugby and create real, meaningful change to children’s lives. Once we engage with a community, we commit for the long-term, ensuring lasting benefit.

We work with communities where there's a need and we can have a positive impact on children.

We use Rugby to install values of integrity, teamwork, enjoyment and commitment, using local partnership to deliver:
