    THE RFL BENEVOLENT FUND 

    Established in 2005 in order to raise funds to support players whose lives are affected by serious injuries sustained playing Rugby League. This can be in the form of providing rehabilitation beyond that offered by the state, or improving the quality of life when unfortunately rehabilitation is no longer an option.
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

    Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

    • Over half the Board have joined recently

    Financial issues to consider:

    • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
    • Spending is declining
    • Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
