BECAUSE NOT ALL BATTLES ARE FOUGHT ON THE PITCH

Welcome to Maddy's Mark.

Maddy’s Mark is a charity that supports the mental well-being of girls and young women by building resilience, confidence, and camaraderie. By funding school programmes and partnering with clubs, we aim to make rugby accessible to all who wish to play. Founded in memory of Maddy Lawrence, whose love for rugby and zest for life continues to inspire us. Maddy was brave and courageous. Support us and help us to inspire and create a legacy, sharing in our belief that getting involved in sports such as rugby, has the power to change lives. We are continuing it for her.

testimonials

These girls have created friendships with older students that are at the club and there is a clear improvement in these students’ confidence and participation in PE lessons. All the students who took part in the programme still talk and recall how much fun they had and the enjoyment they got from playing rugby.

Sophie Cleverly of Winterbourne International Academy

These new players coming into our club and our sport is fantastic and goes to show what an amazing job the Eagle Project programme is doing and how positive these sessions are to young potential players across the whole of Bristol.

Graham Stait of Chipping Sodbury RFC Girls

I’ve loved our PE lessons over the last 6 weeks. Rugby is so different to our regular sports and I get to tackle my friends – I’ve really looked forward to my Wednesdays at School. Thanks Maddy’s Mark and Wasps FC

It’s been so cool having Wasps FC come in thanks to Maddy’s Mark and deliver Rugby to us. I never thought I’d play Rugby – but I love it. I even have my first contact game next week
