Mental wellbeing - keeping the rugby community healthy

In fact, it’s an important reason that many play the game we love.
We’ve been working with the Mental Health Foundation to develop resources, to engage people in conversations around mental wellbeing, encourage kind cultures and equip people throughout the game with the knowledge to be able to support each other. information and signposting to support clubs and communities within the game.
This resource that has been created specifically for the community game includes information and signposting to support people finding specialist help. Together, we can break down the barriers to our collective mental health.

Removing healthcare barriers for RFU employees
With such a disparate range of departments and employee requirements, the RFU needs a robust healthcare strategy. As such it chose Simplyhealth’s Denplan dental cover to provide all its employees with free access to dental care.
As businesses, we have a shared heritage – since 1871, the England Rugby Rose has been a mark of quality, success and integrity. Similarly, Simplyhealth has been helping people stay healthy since 1872. So we’re excited to be the trusted healthcare partner to England Rugby, giving us the opportunity to support RFU in making rugby a safe game to play and providing a platform for us to influence health and wellbeing.
