Fit Fed Fun
This initiative is being run in partnership with WE Soda, the world’s largest producer of natural soda ash which is an essential ingredient used in the manufacture of many everyday sustainable products such as glass, detergents and electric vehicle batteries.
The WRU “Fit, Fed, Fun” camps are free to attend and are running throughout Wales during school, feeding thousands of children in some of the nation’s most under-resourced areas.
The camps are open to all children, but will specifically target children who will benefit from free meals as well as the fun activities on offer.
The programme will be gradually expanded over the next three years and has the objective of reaching all areas of Wales by 2025, providing around 600 camps each year. In the first year, the camps are already on target to support more than 8,000 children across 165 camps already planned in Pembrokeshire, Bridgend, Newport, Conwy, Powys, Gwynedd, and the South Wales valleys.
Feeding the children a hearty breakfast and lunch is a key focus of the camps, with rugby coaching and fun activities for children of all ages and abilities hosted by experienced WRU-trained staff. As part of the programme, the children will also learn about the benefits of looking after their community and the environment.
The initiative is only able to work on such a large scale due to close collaboration with local authorities and regional community foundations and with funding provided by WE Soda, the community partner of the WRU.

Alongside rugby activities delivered by Hub Officers there is an educational element supported by the WRU to promote key environmental messages focused on Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.
Summer 2022 focussed on REUSE. The lesson plans attached illustrate the type of activities we use to break up the delivery.
