| The PRA Benevolent Fund (Registered Charity No. 1113160) is part of our ongoing commitment to support those players in need of a helping hand to re-adjust to life after rugby.
In the last six years the game has had to come to terms with the tragic deaths of Nick Duncombe, Soa Otuvaka, Chris Mallet and Jarrod Cunningham due to fatal illness, and the traumatic injuries of Andy Blyth and more recently Matt Hampson. Through the PRA Benevolent Fund we are able to assist players such as these with the necessary medical costs, as well as provide a support network which the player or family can turn to for help advice or encouragement.
The Benevolent Fund is dependent on generous corporate and individual support. As an increasing number of players become casualties of the professional era, it is vital that the Benevolent Fund continues to grow.
How do I donate?
If you wish to donate to the PRA Benevolent Fund, you can donate either through the Just Giving website http://www.justgiving.com/prabf/donate/ or send a cheque to the PRA offices payable to the "PRA Benevolent Fund".
