Welcome to the England vs Japan Match Day Silent Auction raising funds for the RFU Injured Players Foundation (IPF).
The IPF is England Rugby's official charity and supports players from any level of the game who have sustained a life-changing injury while playing rugby union in England. Life-changing injuries are specifically those which result in the loss of, or loss of use of a limb, catastrophic spinal cord injuries or acute severe traumatic brain injuries which result in permanent functional disability.
Thankfully, these kinds of injuries remain extremely rare in the sport. However, if a catastrophic injury does happen, the IPF will aim to be by a player’s hospital bedside within 48 hours and will continue to provide support for the player and their family for life if needed.
Support is wide-ranging and can include funding for additional rehabilitation, house adaptations or specialist equipment and support returning to work or education. The IPF also funds research to improve injury management and players’ quality of life, and to reduce the risk of injury in rugby.
The IPF Engage Programme is designed to help players rebuild confidence and independence while challenging themselves in a safe and supported environment. Activities include accessible golf and ski courses, adapted watersports and outward bounds courses, all aimed at helping players live their best possible lives.
