Hi everyone,

My name is Tom, and I’m a 16-year-old passionate rugby player from Southampton. I’m thrilled to have been selected for a prestigious 1-month rugby scholarship at the UXI Sport Western Province International Rugby Institute in South Africa, running from July 12th to August 13th, 2025.

This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity came after being recognised for my dedication, talent, and hard work at the Romsey RFC Summer Camp 2024. This experience promises to be life-changing, offering top-level coaching, international exposure, and a chance to grow both on and off the field.

Why I Need Your Support:

While I’ve been awarded a 40% scholarship, I need to cover the remaining costs, including:

Remaining Scholarship Fee: £1,500

Return Flights to South Africa: £1,500

Kit and specialist insurance: £600

Total Required: £3,600 plus spending for things like cultural visits.

This scholarship will provide:

Professional rugby coaching to enhance my skills.

An immersive experience in South Africa, learning from world-class coaches.

The chance to represent my club, community, and country on an international stage.

How You Can Help:

Any contribution, no matter how small, will bring me closer to achieving this dream. Your generosity will help me cover travel, training, and essential expenses.

Other Ways to Help:

If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this campaign with friends, family, and fellow rugby enthusiasts. Your support means the world to me!

Thank you so much for believing in me and helping me reach for the stars. I promise to make the most of this incredible opportunity and represent our community with pride.
