Rugby League World Cup
The Rugby League World Cup is one of the longest running World Cup tournaments in sport, and the highlight of the international rugby league calendar. Returning to England for the sixth time, the 2022 tournament saw stadiums across the country welcome thousands of fans to experience the excitement for themselves.
In partnership with the Rugby League World Cup, we were able to offer thousands of young people across our network the opportunity to be a part of the action.
match tickets distributed to young people living in under-served communities
different community organisations received tickets for their young people

of young people receiving tickets had never seen live professional sport before
Thank you for providing these young people with a memory we are sure they will all reflect on fondly. The game of Rugby League has some newfound fans! We’re bringing boxing to the doorstep of those who need it most - creating lasting impact in communities nationwide.
