Could you become a Blues Foundation Trustee? We're recruiting now.

Can you help us improve lives across Bedfordshire through sport, exercise and education?

Blues Foundation is the charitable arm of Bedford Blues Rugby Club. Working across Bedfordshire and neighbouring areas, our mission is to inspire our community through the values of rugby to promote positive and informed lifestyle choices.

As a charity we are driven by the impact sport and physical activity can have on peoples’ lives. At Blues Foundation, we are passionate that we can harness the power of sport to transform the Bedfordshire community.

The charity has grown considerably over its first two years in operation, responding positively to the challenges of the Covid pandemic. More recently we have merged with Bedford Blues Community to provide a more integrated offer as we use rugby’s core values to enable the most vulnerable and disadvantaged people in our surrounding area to benefit from improved wellbeing, inclusive opportunities, and provide creative chances to enhance skills.

We are very proud of what we have achieved, you can read here about the challenges we face and the vision we have to tackle these.
