Who’s behind Maul Together?

Our founders are all current or ex players at Bridgnorth RFC. We decided that it was important to create a platform for us to continue working as a team after our rugby playing days are over. We have had some amazing years together, creating great playing memories and now want to do the same whilst raising money for some great causes.

Our founder members have been hugely inspired by the cases surrounding the Matt Hampson and Doddie Weir campaigns. There are some very moving documentaries and coverage which includes Doddie speaking a lot about how lucky they are to have an amazing network around them, which has come from their amazing playing careers. However, Doddie worries about the individuals facing similar battles without similar levels of support around them.

One of our passions at Maul Together is to really try and reach out to some of these isolated individuals. To help with delivering this, Maul Together has linked up with two fantastic charities in the Matt Hampson Foundation and My Name’5 Doddie Foundation who are both hugely committed to helping the individuals suffering from life changing injuries and illness. Our fundraising will be directed through these charities to best help these individuals.
