Appointment of a new Chair of the Board of Trustees
Dallaglio RugbyWorks is delighted to announce the appointment of Rachel Maguire as the new Chair of the Board of Trustees.
Rachel brings a distinguished combination of corporate, not‑for‑profit, and governance leadership experience, alongside a deep personal passion for rugby.
Over her career, Rachel has built a strong reputation for strategic leadership and thoughtful governance. Her experience ranges from senior roles at London Stock Exchange to supporting the financial sustainability and growth of charities such as the National Paralympic Heritage Trust, where she chaired its Finance & Development Committee. She has also brought independent challenge and guidance to the Boards of listed plcs, alongside advising leadership teams through her specialist ESG and governance advisory firm.
Rachel joins RugbyWorks with a strong belief in our mission to support young people facing barriers to education and opportunity, and in the role rugby can play in building confidence and connection.
““Dallaglio RugbyWorks has created something genuinely transformative for young people. The blend of rugby, relationship building, and practical support is powerful and dignifying. I am honoured to support the organisation’s continued progress and to work with the Board, leadership team, and partners as we deepen and strengthen our impact.””
““I am delighted that Rachel is joining RugbyWorks as our new Chair. She brings a wonderful enthusiasm for rugby and a deep appreciation of how the sport can help young people build confidence and belonging. Combined with her impressive governance background, Rachel will be an exceptional strategic partner for the organisation. I’m really looking forward to working with her as we continue to strengthen and expand our impact.””
We are delighted to welcome Rachel as Chair of the Board of Trustees and look forward to her leadership as we continue delivering meaningful opportunities for the young people we serve.
