Welcome to The RFL Benevolent Fund

The Rugby Football League Benevolent Fund welcomes genuine supporters of the game to the new, purpose built, independent website. This innovative website hopes to provide a variety of news and features dealing with all aspects of the charity from fundraising to articles about specific Rugby League injuries. We hope to give an insight into the workings of the organisation and how individuals might help.

The Fund's Purpose

“For the relief of people (and their dependants) who play, assist or who have played or assisted in the game of Rugby League in the UK or for a team affiliated to an association primarily based in the UK and who are in hardship or distress as a result of a serious injury, resulting in life changing circumstances caused, through playing or training for the game of Rugby Football League or when travelling to or from a game or training session."

Ambassadors

The RFL Benevolent Fund is seeking to broaden its base and activities across all Rugby League areas.  We need activists to work on our behalf at a variety of different levels, from fundraising to visiting injured players.

At this early stage we are formulating some ideas and would welcome your potential involvement.  If you are interested, please contact us at info@rflbenevolentfund.co.uk.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Individual friends and supporters have all assisted in its growth. From £1 on every Cup Final ticket, to collective fund raising events, the RFL Benevolent Fund is dependant on you. Some have included their own clubs fundraising along with the Benevolent Funds, and divided the profits gained 50/50.
