Our Purpose
Our Mission and Vision
Rugby is more than just a sport – it’s a community, a family, and a powerful force for change. At Rugby For Heroes, we harness the strength of the rugby network to support military personnel as they transition into civilian life.
​
Our mission is built on three core pillars: rugby coaching, career development, and mental well-being support. Through accredited coaching qualifications, tailored employment pathways, and essential mental wellbeing resources, we equip serving and former members of the Armed Forces with the tools to build a rewarding civilian life.
By fostering the same sense of camaraderie, purpose, and teamwork found on the pitch and in the military, we help veterans find their place – and their passion – beyond service.

Words From Our Course Veterans
I really struggled with my confidence in my current understanding of the game and knowledge of coaching
ideas however the RFU and Rugby for heroes team made sure they implemented practical coaching sessions which really helped with my progression. I have really enjoyed meeting new people and now have a network of people to speak with.
I hope that I can now coach for the corps team. I’d recommend it to all service leavers with an interest in rugby and with any skill level. The course is adaptable and some excellent information on transitioning.
