FRIENDS of the IRFU Charitable Trust
People are who the Charitable Trust is all about.
Those who have sacrificed so much for the game we love – our seriously injured players, are at the heart of everything we do.
But without the kindness and on-going help of our ambassadors and our volunteers, we would not be able to support our injured players and make a real difference in their lives and their families lives.
We also rely heavily on our management team to ensure the Trust is looked after in the best way possible for the betterment of our injured players, including our support team; all of which is overseen by the committee and trustees.
