Dallaglio RugbyWorks Partners with Youth Endowment Fund 

We are thrilled to announce that Dallaglio RugbyWorks has secured a significant partnership contract with the Youth Endowment Fund (YEF). This support represents a pivotal moment for our organisation, empowering us to further enhance our comprehensive programme designed to transform the lives of young people across England and Wales through the power of sport.

The Youth Endowment Fund, renowned for its commitment to tackling youth violence and fostering positive futures, has recognised the impactful work of Dallaglio RugbyWorks. With this new partnership, we will implement rigorous evaluation methods, including a randomised control trial, marking a significant advancement in our ability to demonstrate the effectiveness of our programme in meeting the needs of excluded young people. The goal is to build a broader understanding of effective strategies for protecting children from violence.

We are incredibly grateful to the Youth Endowment Fund for their belief in our vision and the vital work we do. This level of evaluation and scrutiny is crucial for us to showcase how we genuinely make a difference in the lives of young people, equipping them with the tools to build positive futures.

About the Youth Endowment Fund

The Youth Endowment Fund is an independent charitable trust dedicated to preventing youth violence. They invest in and support programmes that help young people avoid being drawn into crime and violence, promoting safer and more positive communities. YEF collaborates closely with government officials and ministers to ensure they have the best information to make decisions affecting children. Consequently, the work of Dallaglio RugbyWorks will contribute to shaping public debate on how to permanently reduce violence.

I am thrilled to receive support from YEF for Dallaglio RugbyWorks. Conducting randomised control trials is challenging but absolutely essential to demonstrate the effectiveness of our programme. This support will enable us to rigorously test our methods and confirm that our approach truly impacts the lives of young people. We are deeply grateful to YEF for their support and faith in our mission.
— Zenna Hopson, CEO

We eagerly anticipate this exciting new chapter and the opportunity to collaborate with the Youth Endowment Fund to create lasting change. Thank you to everyone who has supported Dallaglio RugbyWorks on this journey and continue to do so. Together, we are making a difference.
