It's National #WoodenSpoonDay!

After the 1983 Five Nations England fans were given a humorous wooden spoon by Ireland supporters. This moment turned into a charity golf match raising £8,500 for a special needs school, inspiring the founding of Wooden Spoon.

On Friday, we had the honour of meeting up with Ben to receive the incredible fundraising efforts from the Beth Branson Memorial Match 2025.

Thank you to everyone who participated, fundraised and helped with the event.

We believe every child deserves the chance to thrive. This Christmas, we’re taking action with @Timmytammy8 and @YoungsPubs hoping to raise £100,000 for our Pass the Plate appeal to fund food programmes so children don’t go to bed hungry.
