During Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Month, learn how the RFU Injured Players Foundation (IPF) is funding a trial with University College London (UCL) to understand more about how FES (functional electrical stimulation)* cycling can help people who have sustained a spinal cord injury regain movement, balance and mobility in their lower limbs. 

The Allianz Stadium, Twickenham, will host a brand-new adrenaline-fuelled experience this October, as a spectacular giant zip wire takes flight from the iconic stands, sending thrill-seekers soaring over the pitch in a once-in-a-lifetime ride.

The RFU Injured Players Foundation (IPF) is proud to announce that Trustee Judy Metcalfe has been honoured with an RFU Rose Award, recognising her exceptional contribution to rugby over many years. Judy will receive this prestigious award at England v Ireland in the men's Guinness Six Nations next year. 

Without the IPF I probably wouldn’t have got to where I am today.

'I could have got to Uni without the IPF help, but I'm not sure I would have gone to Uni without the IPF help.'

"There wasn’t a single day that the IPF and the club weren’t there for me. It has made me appreciate rugby even more.”
