Objectives and Activities

Moseley Rugby Community Foundation is the charitable foundation arm of Birmingham Moseley Rugby Club. It was established in 2004 to work with local schools to improve and protect the health of children in and around the inner City of Birmingham.

Whilst working with local schools remains a major focus, we have widened our activities to include charitable services for the benefit of the inhabitants of Birmingham and the surrounding area. Our services are driven by income related to grants and donations.

Our activities include providing services to those in need including:

• Developing their capacity and skills in such a way that they are better able to identify and help meet their needs and to participate more fully in society.
• Providing or assisting in the provision of facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation or other leisure time occupation of individuals who have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, age infirmity or disability, financial hardship or social circumstances with the object of improving their conditions of life.
• Preserving and protecting their health by encouraging participation in healthy recreation and providing facilities for the playing of rugby and other sports.
• Advancing their education and offering training opportunities in employability.

Activities

In addition to working with and in local schools to improve and protect the health of children, MRCF has undertaken a number of successful initiatives which can be viewed by clicking on the useful links:
