Culture

The Rugby League Care Cultural Partnership is supported by three Arts Council Bridge Organisations; Curious Minds, IVE and Culture Bridge North East.

The aim of the partnership is to extend and enhance the great work that clubs and charitable foundations carry out to engage women, girls and other under-represented groups to the sport and its associated events by supporting dance programmes in both school and at community settings.

An accreditation programme involving Arts Award allows foundations to deliver a varied and inspired scheme of work: support from Rugby League Cares gives access to National Portfolio organisations to raise further the quality of the programmes.

The Join the Momentum Dance programme continues to give boys and girls, men and women of all ages access to high-energy mass movement pieces for performance at major Rugby League events.

Many of the people involved, old and young alike, would not normally attend Rugby League events: our dance programme introduces them and their families and friends to this amazing sport.
