Spoon organises its own fundraising initiatives, raising funds to spend where it is most needed. Spoon has distributed over £15 million to more than 350 national and local capital projects since 1983 enhancing the lives of more than 500,000 children and young people across the UK and Ireland

Capital projects are projects that create an asset on completion and generally comprise bricks and mortar such as medical treatment and recovery centres, sports and activity areas, sensory rooms and gardens, playgrounds and hydrotherapy pools.

Spoon has more recently increased its charitable work to include socially funded projects such as outreach programmes for kids in their communities; these are called Spoon Community Rugby Projects.

Projects supported by Wooden Spoon vary greatly in size and nature but all fulfil Spoon's mission statement: "To enhance the quality and prospect of life for children and young people in the United Kingdom and Ireland who are disadvantaged physically, mentally or socially."

Spoon consistently has a significant number of ongoing capital grant and social community projects active across the UK and Ireland. To view the full Project History please click here.
