Barbarians Rugby Charitable Trust support Welsh Sports Foundation
The Welsh Sports Foundation is immensely grateful to the Barbarians Rugby Charity Trust for their generous £10,000 donation.
Barbarians FC has a long, proud history in Welsh sport, with no more spectacular moments than when Sir Gareth Edwards scored one of the greatest ties of all time as New Zealand visited the Cardiff Arms Park for an all-time classic in 1973.
The club’s Trust was established to support worthy causes and the development of rugby union for people of all ages, genders and backgrounds, and regularly identifies organisations and projects to support that embodies this ethos.
In particular, The Barbarians Rugby Charitable Trust is committed to teaching values such as leadership, teamwork and friendship to disadvantaged young adults and children.
The Barbarians Rugby Charitable Trust’s £10,000 donation will support the Foundation’s mission of removing financial barriers to sport and physical activity for young people in Wales. Find all you need to know about the Foundation here.

“We are proud to be sporting the Welsh Sports Foundation and the great work they do. Barbarians F.C is supported across the world on the field and since its inception in 2004 Barbarians Rugby Charitable Trust has been repaying that support by itself supporting worthwhile causes across the world and we are delighted to be continuing to do that.”
