Last night was day 1 of a 6 day community coaching initiative. Following the changes in the tackle rules involving height of the tackle, our team have offered all community coaches in Warrington the chance to come down with their team and see how to implement the training. See what the coaches have to say about it. . . . . . . . . #tacklerules #rulechange #communitycoaching #rugby #rugbyleague #instarugby #disability #disabilityawareness #disabilitysupport #disabilitysport #uksport #charity #supportlocal #communityfundraising #communityfirst #communitywork #communitywellness #communitysupport #warrington #oneill #northwest #warringtonwolvesfoundation #warringtonwolves #wiredna #changinglives #changinglivesthroughsport

As a disabled/adaptive athlete myself, it's important to me to not only grow the adaptive field of athletes, but also gain awareness of the events and life-changing impact they have. To some people, sports play an important role in their life for fitness and for mental wellbeing. Being disabled/adaptive adds a new layer of complexity for both aspects. I have seen first-hand (no pun intended, being one-handed) of individuals struggling with mental wellbeing or thinking they can't do something because of their limitation. This is the exact reason that I have pledged to assist the adaptive community in raising awareness and assistance for those who want to connect with others with similar physical challenges.   At North American One-Armed Golfer Association (NAGAOA) 501(c)(3), we are dedicated to empowering, supporting, and uplifting individuals of all ages with upper extremity disabilities, offering them the resources and support to know they CAN.   In the last year, in the small funds we raised, we were able to assist over 8 players with their registration fees who needed assistance, grow the adaptive community, partner with other disabled organizations, and positively transform the lives at these events. Speaking from experience from my first event, I came home with strong sense of belonging and increased confidence.   I'm asking if you can, please consider donating to this cause. Your dollars are tax deductible and life changing. See the link below for your donation portal and an INSTANT tax-deductible receipt. A gift that gives back in more than one way. :) If you can't donate, please share. AND if you know of a person with ANY limitation interested in golf, please let me know as I would be honored to connected them to a nearby clinic, event or mentor.

We're kicking off EOFY early because, let's face it, this year has been a marathon for many. As winter approaches, so do many community Pride Cups, and we're determined to keep offering free education sessions for community clubs. But we can't do it alone. We need YOUR support! Did you know it costs us $500 to deliver a community LGBTIQ+ inclusion education session? These sessions support regional teams without access to other LGBTIQ+ services. Thanks to a generous donor, all donations received in the next 10 days will be MATCHED, up to the value of $5000! Double your impact by donating before March 30th. Sport strengthens mental health, it builds resilience, and it creates community cohesion. Sadly, only 6% of LGBTIQ+ individuals participate in sports due to fear of homophobia. That's why Pride Cup is here, to support teams across the country to embed inclusion in their culture, and welcome LGBTIQ+ people back into the sports they once loved. We've got BIG plans for the coming year. We'll be expanding our community grant program so more clubs can participate in a Pride Cup. Developing a new advanced training so that trans and non-binary people feel safe to play. Building relationships across multicultural communities so that all our rights are seen as connected - not in conflict. But we need your help to make it happen. Just 5c out of every $100 of charitable giving goes to LGBTIQ+ causes. Your donation to Pride Cup this EOFY will be DOUBLED, and will help us grow that share.  Make a tax deductible donation today and make sport everyone’s game:  https://lnkd.in/gBK4hvja

Ahead of our season opener, we have an announcement. With a new year and a new season starting, we have made the decision to change our name. Formally known as The Warrington Wolves Charitable Foundation, we are now The Warrington Wolves Community Foundation. Although this is a small change from Charitable to Community, we feel this new name better reflects the relationship we have with the club and our role within the community. . . . .

Donating to support widows can have a profound impact for several reasons: 1. **Economic Stability**: Widows often face significant financial hardships, especially in regions where women have limited access to economic resources and opportunities. Your support can help them achieve economic stability. 2. **Education and Empowerment**: Donations can fund educational programs, vocational training, and other initiatives that empower widows to become self-sufficient and improve their quality of life. 3. **Mental and Emotional Support**: Losing a spouse can be emotionally devastating. Charities and organizations often provide counseling and community support, which can be crucial for mental well-being. 4. **Social Justice**: In many cultures, widows may face discrimination and social exclusion. Supporting them can help fight against these injustices and promote equality. 5. **Community Development**: Helping widows can have a ripple effect, benefiting their children and communities by fostering a more stable and inclusive environment. 6. **Humanitarian Compassion**: Donating is an act of compassion and solidarity, showing that you care about the well-being of those who are vulnerable and in need of support.
