Make a Difference

Let’s work together on positive change to create opportunities for the people of our Rugby For Life communities.

You can make a difference

RFL offers a ‘hands-up’ approach - let’s work together to create opportunities for our communities.

Encouraging positive health, education, and training to empower rangatahi needs the commitment and support of a community programme. Whether you're an individual, a group, or a business, there are many ways to get involved and support Rugby For Life's impactful programmes.

As an inclusive community focused charity, it’s not just about donating money. We need support with fundraising, volunteering at events, corporate partnerships, employment opportunities, training, apprenticeships, internships, and mentoring.

Please join us and help create opportunities.

Be Part of Something Bigger.

At Rugby For Life, we know rugby is more than a game — it’s a force for good, a connector of people, and a catalyst for real change.

Thanks to the incredible energy and generosity at our Long Lunch events — including the launch event in Britomart in 2019, in Russell at the Duke of Marlborough in 2021, the 2023 Whangārei and Auckland Long Lunch series, and our unforgettable 2025 event with the New Zealand University Rugby Association — we’re building something powerful. These events are now must-attend moments on the fundraising calendar, raising critical awareness and support for our mission to strengthen communities through rugby.

The next Long Lunch is already in the works — and with your backing, we can make it bigger, bolder, and even more impactful.
When you support Rugby For Life, you’re not just making a donation.

You’re joining a movement that’s changing lives across Aotearoa.
