This past weekend, the Brick Community Stadium became the epicentre of both thrilling international Rugby League and a significant milestone in the joint social impact mission that the Widnes Vikings Foundation shares with The Rugby Football League.
During the game, the RFL showcased a glimpse of what we strive towards in our commitment to social impact, which reaches beyond the 80 minutes. Rugby League is far more than just a sport; it has an outstanding community that surrounds it.
Our most recent social impact initiatives include:
- Vikings Touch Rugby
- Extra Time (mental health)
- Wheelchair RL (disability)
- Learning Disability Rugby League (LDRL)
- SEN Schools Rugby (special educational needs support)
- Golden Generation (social isolation and living with dementia support)
Now, this week we are delighted to be a part of the first-ever Week of Social Impact driven by the RFL.
We have worked tirelessly toward our social impact goals for years; this week is set to put a spotlight on the previous work we have done and what currently we have ongoing for you, our community.
The inaugural Week of Impact has come following the announcement of the RFL Community Trust.
The RFL Community Trust will be dedicated to furthering the sport’s social impact goals, working hand-in-hand with the Governing Body, ourselves, and other Rugby League Charitable Foundations.
We look forward to working with The RFL Community Trust to further our social impact goals and serve our community.
