About Us

Rochdale Hornets Foundation is the official charity of Rochdale Hornets Rugby League Club. But we’re about far more than rugby.

We’re here to make a difference — using the spirit, values and energy of sport to create a positive impact across our town.

Our team of staff and volunteers deliver projects that change lives — helping people to get active, make friends, learn new skills and feel good. Whether it’s children discovering rugby for the first time, older people finding joy in gentle exercise, or groups supporting mental wellbeing — our work is expanding into every corner of the community.

Everything we do is powered by people: our passionate staff, our dedicated volunteers, and the brilliant individuals and families we work with every day.

Our Values:

Four circles with text inside, two red and two light blue. The red circles say 'INCLUSION: Sport is for everyone, no matter their age, background or ability' and 'WELLBEING: Helping people live healthier, happier lives'. The light blue circles say 'COMMUNITY: Rochdale first - building pride, strength and opportunity in our Town' and 'INSPIRATION: Sparking confidence and ambition in every person we meet'.
