We Care. You Care. Rugby League Cares. ![RLCares Legends](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/hubfs/Pages/Home/image1.webp) ![Rugby League Cares Session](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/hubfs/Pages/Home/IMAGE2.webp) ![RLCares young rugby league players](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/hubfs/Pages/Home/image3.webp) ## Our Four Pillars of Focus --- ###### Community Since our formation in 2014, we have strived to care for the people who live, work, and play in the villages, towns, and cities wherever rugby league is played. ###### Rugby League Benevolent Fund The RL Benevolent Fund provides lifelong support to the players, and the families of players who have experienced life-changing events on the field of play. ###### Wellbeing and Brain Health We deliver gold standard levels of support, including education around good brain health, to the sport's most important stakeholders: it's players. ###### Fundraising As an independent charity fundraising is essential.  We work hard to generate the resources needed to make a positive and lasting difference to the lives of people across our communities. ## Our Mission Statement --- Rugby League Cares is dedicated to enhancing and enriching lives through the power and positive influence of rugby league. We provide crucial support to players transitioning out of their playing careers by offering education and training grants. We also assist current and former players experiencing poor health or hardship with practical guidance and financial aid. Additionally, Rugby League Cares promotes mental fitness and healthy lifestyle initiatives, and preserves the sport's heritage through its collections, archives, events and partnerships.
