The Taranaki Community Rugby Trust (TCRT) is a charitable trust operating two dairy farms in South Taranaki milking approximately 900 cows. Established in 2008, TCRT’s charitable purpose is to support the community game in Taranaki – growing community rugby through dairy farming.
With distributions totalling more than $1.4m, TCRT has contributed to a range of initiatives that enable our community game. These include direct annual distributions to junior rugby through our clubs, funding Rugby Development Officers working in every school and club, support for women’s rugby, including premier partner of award-winning documentary No Tears on the Field, and TCRT are the major partner of Taranaki Rugby Referees Association who are on every field in every corner of Taranaki every week.
With some exciting new developments ahead, both on farm and in rugby, we are seeking a volunteer trustee with a passion for helping us to enable the physical, social and mental health benefits that team sport delivers to our kids, our youth and our communities.
To meet our current needs, we are seeking someone to join the TCRT board and our Farm Business Committee. You will be a team player with experience and knowledge of the dairy farming industry and a passion for building strong communities through enabling sport, particularly for our young people. Experience in governance is an advantage, but a desire to learn and ambition to lead around the board table is a necessity.
