WHO WE WORK WITH
The London Irish Foundation has officially teamed up with kitround, the UK’s first dedicated platform for pregamed sportswear and circular kit redistribution. This exciting extended partnership is built on a shared vision: to harness the power of sport to inspire, empower, and uplift young people from all walks of life. By working together, the Foundation and kitround aim to expand access to sports programmes, nurture young talent, and strengthen local communities, one donation, one match, and one young athlete at a time.
A Partnership with Purpose
Sport has long been a unifying force, capable of driving social change and building resilience. Recognising this, kitround provides a unique platform where individuals can donate preloved sports gear, or a portion of their sale proceeds, directly to grassroots initiatives. These donations are then channelled into vital projects that provide coaching, equipment, facilities, and opportunities for young people to thrive.
You can donate in the following ways: By making a one-off or monthly donation; by becoming a corporate supporter; by attending or participating in our fundraising events; by leaving a gift in your will. For details about making a donation please contact: foundation@londonirishfoundation.org and we will be in touch.
Donate nowBy joining our group of volunteers you can make a difference. Over the course of a year there are occasions when we need extra help with activities and events. Our volunteers meet new people, gain new friendships, learn new skills and have some really great experiences! Because of the nature of some of our projects we need you to sign up in advance to our list of volunteers. All you have to do is contact the Foundation at: foundation@londonirishfoundation.org and we will be in touch with you.

After all that has been built and developed this year (2023), I do hope that our journey together can continue. Just thinking that the club may not be able to take place next year is devastating. The interest, the development of skills and the rugby community that has been built in our school is a joy to behold. In truth there would be a lot of tears if I had to announce the termination of the club. (I would be in tears too).

I just wanted to drop you a line and say thank you once again for including us in your coaching scheme. I have been so impressed with the level of progress that our pupils have made over the past few weeks. Ben has been absolutely brilliant. He is totally on our pupils wavelength and has challenged and supported them in equal measure over the past few weeks. It is great to see the way he encourages and motivates the young people and he has already developed good relationships with many of the pupils he has been coaching at our school. Please pass on my thanks to him for all his efforts so far.

Honestly, Ben was fab and the girls loved his session. He was really suited to the event. Feedback from schools on the day has been nothing but positive.

I just wanted to say a BIG thank you for the sports sessions that my students had with London Irish Foundation. They really enjoyed the experience of trying different games and being part of a team. Laurisa was great with the students, motivating them to join in, try their best and have fun, which they did! Every single student gave me a very positive feedback about the sessions, how it impacted them and how good they felt afterwards – so well done!

I feel the pupils have had a positive attitude towards the sport. For most pupils it would have been the first time they have touched a rugby ball. I feel it has been a big success at Meadow High school. The pupils were able to access the sport as the coaching was specific to meet the pupils needs. Laurisa had a good relationship with all the pupils.
