The RFU Injured Players Foundation (IPF) are here to give immediate and lifelong support to rugby players who, while playing rugby union in England at any level and at any age, sustain a catastrophic spinal cord injury or traumatic brain injury which has resulted in permanent disability.
More about the IPF
Our support is available to help injured players through recovery, rehabilitation and for the rest of their lives. We aim to empower injured players to live a full and independent life, and to support players and their families in any way possible; in whatever way they might need.
