Finley's School Rugby Tour to South Africa
Donation protected
Hi my name is Finley Ashcroft and I attend Sandbach Boys School. I have been offered a trip of a lifetime to go to South Africa for an Educational School Rugby trip in July 2025.
I have been playing since the age of 4 and I am now 15, my ambition is to become either professional player for England or become a professional coach. I play for my school team and local club in Sandbach. Rugby has always been my passion.
I will be playing Rugby matches against different local South Africans schools where I will be able to receive pro coaching and take part in pro sporting matches. Also I will be able to exchange memorabilia after the games.
I will have the chance to visit various towns where I will learn about the local cultures
- Robben Island - where Nelson Mandela was a prisoner
- Table Top mountain - views of Cape Town and beyond
- Boulders Beach - home of the African Penguins
- Hout Bay - busiest fishing harbour in the Western Cape
- Shark Conservancy
- Surfing Lesson
- Whale watching
- Apartheid Museum
- Cradle of Humankind tour
- Voortrekker Monument
- Mabula Game Reserve for a full day of Safari
Unfortunately our school cannot fund the trip due to it costing £3,500. My family contributing a percentage of the cost so I am going try and raise funds myself to pay the rest of the cost plus any kit that is needed. Any extra funds raised will be donated to Sandbach School to help reduce the cost for my team mates.
Your support is really really appreciated and I will post regular updates of my journey
Thank you
Finley
