Bath Rugby Foundation is bringing an inspiring community-focused Advent Window campaign to the city of Bath.

Launching today (Monday 1st December), the calendar brings together a striking physical display at Buro Happold’s offices on Lower Bristol Road, alongside a digital storytelling series that highlights the Foundation’s life-changing work with young people.

The physical campaign will see 24 office windows transformed into a glowing Advent calendar, each one featuring a Bath Rugby shirt and number linked to the squad who lifted the Premiership trophy last season.

Alongside the display, Bath Rugby Foundation will run a daily online campaign, releasing content from its 24/25 Impact Report. Each day, staff members will share first-hand stories of the Foundation’s work across Bath and North East Somerset, from supporting young people with additional needs to providing alternative education pathways and improving life chances for those facing disadvantage. Every post will include a call to action encouraging the public to donate and support the Foundation’s vital programmes.

Running in parallel with the Advent Window fundraiser is a special raffle, giving supporters the chance to win 10 matchday tickets for Bath Rugby vs Bristol Bears on Saturday 14th February, as well as a signed Bath Rugby ball. All funds raised will help the Foundation continue its mission to empower children and young people facing barriers in their lives.

Sarah Tarling, Community Fundraiser at Bath Rugby Foundation, said, “We’re delighted to be partnering with Buro Happold on this festive campaign. Their values and commitment to community align closely with ours, and together we’re able to shine a light on the impact we’re making across Bath. The Advent Windows are a brilliant visual celebration of the season, but more importantly they help raise awareness and vital funds for the young people we support every day.”
