Its primary focus is on citizens without access to reasonable care for these conditions, and who reside in areas where health services do not reach. 

The vision of PinkDrive is to be the leading non-governmental organisation dedicated to creating and promoting awareness about cancer in South Africa, and potentially beyond.

Just like the game of rugby, PinkDrive’s values are:

Integrity | Accountability | Discipline | Passionate Giving | Teamwork | Open Minded. 

OUR tour mission is to raise ONE MILLION RAND. Of which, ZAR250,000 (£14,000) will be given to help this amazing charity identify cancer at the earliest possible stages.  Help us make that difference on your tour.

MSG Founder and managing director, Mark Gardner is excited about the partnership“Having visited Michael in Eswatini to learn first hand of the country’s socio-economic problems, it’s incredible to hear how these challenges are being overcome through the medium of rugby. 

“It’s a pleasure to be supporting tourism to Eswatini that helps raise funds for the hard work and dedication of all associated with the SKRUM charity.  We’re delighted to partner with Skrum as part of our ONE MILLION RAND mission.”

Little Rose Centre

The Little Rose Centre accommodates 140 children in Kliptown, which is one of the poorest areas of Soweto. 18 of the children are actually sheltered at the centre while they also provide educational classes, after school programs and meals.

Their mission and vision develops with the needs of the Kliptown Community. At the forefront of their vision are the children. Through their educational programmes, they strive to create role models for their community, promoting opportunities and a perspective in life.

The centre also provides a shelter for orphaned children and those who are vulnerable, giving them a ‘home.’

GoodSport Trust

The vision of The GoodSport Trust is to provide a national framework for physical education and sport to all South Africans, regardless of wealth or background. This is to help provide the opportunity to excel, grow, advance and compete.

GoodSport Trust in Cape Town is built on four pillars: A high standard of physical education, coaching development, infrastructure development and facilities development.

After PE was removed from government schools in South Africa in 1994, it returned to the curriculum in 2012. It acknowledged that sport instils positive values such as commitment, respect, discipline and team-work, and increases self confidence and self-esteem, and decreases anxiety & depression.

Royal British Legion

Our partners, the ‘Lions In Pink’ are ex-servicemen in the British Army who have a passion for rugby and touring.

As the Royal British Legion are a charity these fine gentlemen are passionate about, we are making an easy exception to our South Africa-only ONE MILLION RAND project. Including ‘The Legion’ as our only British charity allows us to thank people like the ‘Lions In Pink’ and help others who have served our country.

The Royal British Legion provide lifelong help and support to service personnel, serving and ex-serving, and their families. Whatever the reason, they help; providing guidance and advice, assisting with recovery and rehabilitation, and helping with the transition into normal civilian life.
