Rugby League has received over £1.5 million from The National Lottery Community Fund, the UK’s largest community funder, to help Rugby League communities across the country reduce the impact of human activity on the climate through Try for Tomorrow.

This social impact programme aims to tackle climate change through dedicated, action-focused educational sessions covering food, energy, transport, waste, nature and water. These sessions will be delivered to 200 schools across our communities.

The programme will also support 100 community clubs to become more sustainable through the introduction of ‘Utility Benches’. These multi-banks will act as a catalyst for climate action within clubs and their communities.

Over the next three years, the RFL Community Trust and its strategic community-based partners are excited to inspire, empower and connect people across the sport to take meaningful steps in the fight against climate change.

By linking climate action to everyday life through the exciting vehicle and incredible sport that is Rugby League, we aim to bring communities together, empower one another and create lasting change. Remember, small changes make a big impact!
