PRA Benevolent Fund
The professional game has sadly had to come to terms with the tragic deaths of Nick Duncombe, Soa Otuvaka and Chris Mallet due to fatal illness, and the traumatic injuries of Andy Blyth and more recently Matt Hampson. Through the PRA Benevolent Fund, the PRA are able to assist players with the necessary medical costs, as well as provide a support network which the player or family can turn to for advice or encouragement.

The Tag Rugby Development Trust is a unique charity that takes volunteers to developing countries around the world to teach tag rugby to underprivileged children.
Volunteers come from all walks of life but have a common aim: to provide kids with their rights to play, to be educated and, most of all, to have fun.
You don’t need special kit, and nor do you have to be a qualified rugby coach. TRDT will provide any training and will use your existing skills appropriately.

The RFU Injured Players Foundation supports people who sustain a catastrophic injury (CI) whilst playing rugby. The charity provides help and support for both players and their families in the early months of these injuries as well as in the long term and incorporates the former SPIRE Rugby Trust charity.
Matt Hampson is known all over the country as the inspirational figure who has given hope to people going through a rough period in their lives, the guy who got injured but wouldn’t take it lying down.
Wooden Spoon is rugby's charity supporting mentally, physically and socially disadvantaged children and young people.
