We are delighted to announce that the Rosslyn Park Injury Trust (RPIT) has generously donated £5,000 towards Spencer Lynx’s annual running costs.
This partnership feels like a natural fit. Both organisations share a belief that sport should be accessible to everyone — and that when life’s circumstances threaten to exclude people from participating, eg through injury or socioeconomic barriers, practical support can make all the difference.
Using sport to open doors for those who might otherwise be left behind resonates deeply with the values of the RPIT. The Trust was formed in 1981 following a life-changing spinal injury sustained by a young rugby player at the National Schoolboys Sevens at Rosslyn Park. That moment gave rise to a mission: to ensure that sportspeople who suffer serious injuries receive the support they need to live fuller, more independent lives. The Trust also actively promotes sport among underserved communities, recognising that access to sport is a right, not a privilege.
Importantly, the RPIT welcomes grant applications from injured sportspeople across all sports — not just rugby. Grants are considered for specialist equipment to aid independence, rehabilitation programmes, and surgical procedures that can meaningfully improve quality of life.
The Trust operates with minimal overheads — almost every penny raised goes directly to beneficiaries, with trustees and administrators giving their time entirely on a voluntary basis.
If you or someone you know has suffered a serious sports injury and could benefit from a grant, please visit www.rpitrust.com or contact the Trust directly (Registered Charity No: 284089).
