Welcome to the

Rugby for everyone
Award trust
Great things are happening
The Grass-roots Rugby for Everyone Award Trust (GREAT) is a charitable organisation which seeks to promote grassroots rugby across Scotland by awarding financial support to clubs and schools.
Our mission is to encourage more people to become involved in rugby, so that they may experience the health and social benefits of the game while growing the sport and improving standards across Scotland.
Our Trustees are drawn from former players and coaches and have a variety of backgrounds and occupations.
Grant Application 2026
Rugby is a powerful team sport rooted in local communities. At its heart are values, ethics and principles that provide a framework for learning important life lessons. It develops skills and attributes that matter just as much at work and at home as they do on the pitch, making it a sport for everyone.
GREAT is delighted to launch its second awards programme, inviting clubs and schools across Scotland to apply using the link below:

Making a Impact in March 2025
At GREAT, we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to play and enjoy the game of rugby. We are absolutely thrilled to celebrate the incredible grassroots clubs and community trusts making a massive difference across Scotland.
Thanks to our round of small grants in March 2025, these five fantastic projects are breaking down barriers, upgrading vital facilities and taking the sport to the next level.
