Bath Rugby Foundation has launched its 2026/27 fundraising events calendar, offering businesses and supporters a range of opportunities to network, enjoy unique experiences and help fund programmes supporting young people across the region.

The charity says every ticket purchased, raffle entry bought and sponsorship secured helps it continue delivering initiatives that build confidence, improve wellbeing, raise aspirations and support young people into education, employment and training.

Alongside a series of fundraising events throughout the year, the Foundation is calling on local businesses to support its festive Great Elf Takeover campaign.

The initiative will see 24 businesses each sponsor an elf for £500 and provide a workplace placement during December. Participating organisations will be encouraged to share their elf’s exploits on social media, helping raise awareness and funds for the Foundation’s Alternative Learning Hub.

The campaign is being promoted under the banner: 24 Elves. 24 Businesses. 24 Days. One Community.

The Foundation is also encouraging supporters to get involved in The Great Mulberry Escape, a fundraising prize draw fronted by former Bath Rugby player Dave Attwood.

For £10 per entry, participants have the chance to win:

  • A champagne breakfast for two at The Ivy Bath Brasserie & Garden
  • A Mulberry Medium Clipper holdall
  • A Mulberry Mini Alexa handbag
  • A one-night stay in a luxury hot tub suite at Homewood Hotel & Spa, including dinner

The Foundation is asking supporters to help spread the word by following the campaign on social media, sharing content and encouraging friends, family and colleagues to take part.

The 2026/27 events calendar includes a variety of networking, sporting and fundraising events designed to bring together businesses, supporters and the wider community while raising vital funds for the charity’s work.
