Making connections is essential in all aspects of life. An important role played by the Injured Players Foundation is to connect players who are going through similar experiences.
Not all introductions result in ‘bromances’ like Hamish and Spencer here (!), but so many connections lead to genuine friendships with like-minded rugby players who understand each other and the challenges they’re faced with.
This informal support network can be as important as the charity’s primary role to ensure access to the most appropriate medical care and to provide emotional, practical and financial assistance for an injured player and their family to help them lead their best possible lives.
