HRH The Duke of Cambridge, Prince William of Great-Brittain, has accepted an invitation to become Patron of the Welsh Rugby Charitable Trust which supports severely injured players from Wales. He will fulfil the new role alongside his existing link with the sport as Vice Patron of the Welsh Rugby Union.
The Trust supports seriously injured Welsh rugby players who are all confined to wheelchairs after suffering spinal injuries in games. It was set up in 1972 and is the declared priority for charitable assistance from within the Welsh Rugby Union. The charity currently supports 20 seriously injured players and also gives financial help to players who have not suffered permanent disability.
