Online Training
Our online training platform, produced in association with Mental Health Foundation is available now for all rugby players - completely free of charge.
The LooseHeadz Foundation (registered charity number #1193051) is the cornerstone of our campaign to #TackleTheStigma.
We guarantee that 100% of the money raised for our Foundation will be used exclusively for the betterment of players’ mental wellbeing.
Currently the Foundation is funded through the sales of clothing, donations and fundraisers.
The Foundation is run by a board of trustees, and headed up by our patron Shaun Edwards, to ensure total visibility in everything we do. Our trustees then decide where to distribute the money raised, and report back to the team on the impact of their campaigns.
We are immensely proud to have Shaun Edwards as the Patron of the LooseHeadz Foundation. Shaun, a legend of both codes of rugby needs no introduction. His help, support and association allow us to further help the silent majority affected by mental health.
The Foundation operates entirely separately to LooseHeadz to ensure that all funds received are appropriately distributed.
