What we do

Home > What we do

Rugby League Cares aims to reach out to every member of the Rugby League family.

From the game’s most important stakeholders, its senior players, through to raising awareness of health issues and helping the grassroots raise the funds they need to grow and flourish, Rugby League Cares is always here.

Our main focus is the heroes who light up the lives of tens of thousands of fans every weekend: we are putting in place an extensive support network to ensure our players get the most from their involvement in Rugby League, both during their careers and post-retirement.
