WE CARE, ADVOCATE FOR AND CHAMPION THE SAFETY OF ALL PLAYERS IN THE GAME WE LOVE

A FOUNDATION FOR HOPE

Every so often in rugby, someone gets a serious injury. Very occasionally, the injury can be life changing. That’s why we’re here. To us, a player is a member of the rugby family for life. No matter where life’s journeys go, we’re there to share the ups and downs, and be the voice when needed.

Partnering with New Zealand’s seriously injured players for life, we are at the heart of a true team where whānau, funders, donors, affiliates and the rugby community combine to ensure support for seriously injured players is maximised.

We engage with our communities and find inspiration in the courage and humanity of our seriously injured players.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ 

Join our team: Once a team mate, always a team mate.
