Restart is the official charity of The Rugby Players Association (RPA). Formerly known as The RPA Benevolent Fund, Restart was founded in 2001 to support professional players forced to retire through illness or injury. We provide financial and practical support to players and their families during difficult times, including help with the cost of medical treatment, rehabilitation equipment, counselling, education and career transition. Restart is also there when players need emotional support in coming to terms with losing the game they love.

Notes to the above:

Online donation figures include all donations made via this donate page to Restart Rugby and includes any Gift Aid reclaimed on behalf of eligible organisations.

Offline donations include cash, cheques and any other donations paid directly to the fundraising organisation. This offline donation total is updated periodically by the Tribute Guardian in conjunction with the fundraising organisation.

The "total raised" figure shown above therefore reflects all monies raised from all sources, both online and offline. Thank you for your support of this Tribute Fund.
