Bath Rugby Foundation celebrated a major milestone at our Annual Fundraising Dinner – marking 21 years of changing young lives – with a night to remember at Double Tree, Hilton.

Thanks to the generosity of our guests, we raised an incredible £44,196.64 through our Live Auction, Silent Auction, and Raffle. A huge thank you goes to Odendaal Diamonds, who generously donated a stunning diamond necklace, helping to make the raffle one of the evening’s highlights.

This year’s Dinner was more than just a celebration – it was a powerful reminder of why we do what we do. Our theme, ‘Every 1 Matters’, was at the heart of the evening, and guests were treated to the premiere of our new campaign video of the same name. If you haven’t seen it yet, we invite you to watch it here:

The night also gave us the opportunity to hear directly from the people behind our work. Our brilliant Head of Fundraising, Halena Coury, and Alternative Learning Officer, Phil Owens, led an insightful Q&A about life at the Foundation and how our Alternative Learning Hub is changing the futures of young people who are falling through the cracks of the education system.

Phil shared a powerful message about the importance of businesses engaging with our students, saying that “when employers take the time to come in and work with our young people, it resonates more than you’d ever realise – it inspires them to grow their futures.”
