Grassroots to Global
Grassroots to Global is part of a Global Social Impact Partnership between ChildFund Rugby and World Rugby. It is a flagship programme that brings together female community leaders from across the world to build their networks and drive social change through rugby.
In celebration of Women’s Rugby World Cup England 2025, the transformational partnership is seeking to support 31 National Governing Bodies globally to host national community leadership forums, which will feed into a global forum across the week of the tournament’s opening match. During this event, leaders will build critical skills, connect and learn from peers, and develop and pitch project proposals to deliver initiatives that will bring in, and retain, more women into community coaching around the world.
“It’s inspiring to see the rugby community making a real difference to lives across the globe and I am confident together with ChildFund Rugby, World Rugby will continue to create positive outcomes for vulnerable young people around the world.”
Alan Gilpin, CEO, World Rugby
“In partnership with World Rugby, we can put solidarity, integrity and respect into action via the great game and give youth a different vision for their future.”
Margaret Sheehan, CEO of ChildFund Australia
