Welcome to inspireslam – The fundraising side to inspiresport
Pledging to make a difference through sport, our staff are challenging themselves throughout 2016 and 2017 to raise a massive £100,000 for chairty; some are exploring organised sporting events, others tough physical challenges, some are simply trying a new activity. But however they choose to fundraise, they all need your help! You can see their challenges in the section below, or click the video link to find out more information on our chosen charity.
Our Chosen Charity
Our chosen charity is the Dalllagio Foundation which pledges to make a difference to young people through sport. “We looked at a number of charities whom we could work with to really make a difference. The foundation works hard to motivate young adults from difficult backgrounds to participate in rugby increasing their sense of worth. This fits perfectly with our ethos – working with teachers and pupils who appreciate the values sport brings to individuals of all ages. For this reason we felt the charity would appeal to not only our staff and customers but also suppliers and partners worldwide.” – Steve Butchart, CEO inspiresport
The Dallagio Foundation, founded by Lawrence Dallagio, is a charity we feel very strongly about here at inspiresport. The aim of the charity is to deliver a long-term intensive skills development programme based on the values of rugby. Their goal is to ensure 14-17 year olds achieve sustained education, employment or training.
The Dallagio Foundation is our chosen charity due to our mutual goals; “to change the lives of young people.” We feel sport can play a major role in developing young lives in a positive manner and therefore believe this is a fantastic charity. We have seen for ourselves the increase in confidence and self-worth of young players when our development tours return. This is closely aligned to the foundation which works by increasing the self-confidence and self-esteem of young people.
