“Rugby is about people. It’s a sport built on so many great values, but at the heart of it all is the rugby family. “Rugby will never stand still when it comes to player welfare. A big focus for me as Patron will be advancing the great work achieved to date in bringing together Foundations, Governing Bodies, and medical experts from different countries to share knowledge and research findings as well as developing successful models of support for catastrophic injury and reduction of its causes.
This support is available for life and includes working with players’ health and social care providers to ensure they can access the support they need, continued rehabilitation, financial support and identifying and making adaptations needed for their homes. The charity also provides emotional and practical support for players’ families, enabling them to focus on caring for their loved ones.
