Welcome to Northampton Saints Foundation
OUR HISTORY, THEIR FUTURE.
Founded in 1880 by Reverend Samuel Wathen Wigg, Northampton Saints began as a way to guide troubled youth by rugby. Today, that legacy lives on through Northampton Saints Foundation - which uses the power of sport and the values of rugby to INSPIRE, SUPPORT, and EDUCATE thousands of individuals each year. Through our education, social inclusion and employability programmes, along with our Specialist Services, we help people build confidence, develop essential life skills, and access new opportunities in education, training, or employment. Our vision is empower young minds and enrich lives across generations.
