What’s it all about
Rugby League star Mose Masoe suffered a career-ending, life-changing spinal injury when playing in January 2020. The Foundation will support him, and others, to rebuild their lives.
The Mose Masoe Foundation is being launched in light of Mose’s situation to;
- Provide relief of financial hardship amongst current and former rugby players by making grants of money for providing or paying for items, services or facilities.
- Provide relief of mental hardship amongst current and former rugby players
- Support ex-players who have and/or are suffering from spinal injuries affecting their welfare and quality of life.

Why we say ‘It’s time to Walk and Talk’
The Mose Masoe Foundation will adopt the strapline ‘It’s time to Walk & Talk’.
We feel this message is hugely important as any rehabilitation from a life-changing spinal injury involves far more than aiming to walk again.
In Mose’s own case, his first steps were widely celebrated and his smile suggested he was doing well.
It was only a year after his accident that he opened up about the ‘dark days’ he suffered mentally, and admitted the level of support he required.
The Mose Masoe Foundation will not only seek to support players in their physical recovery from serious spinal injuries, but importantly also work to help address the mental impact upon players as they come to realise they are unlikely to ever be the same person again.
‘It’s Time to Walk and Talk’
The Foundation will help people by;
- Making financial grants to individuals
- Making financial grants to organisations
- Providing access to advocacy, advice and information.
The foundation has support from prominent figures in the sport of Rugby League community in both the UK and Australia to raise vital awareness for the organisation. These supporters do not receive any benefit from the organisation and are raising awareness and support the organisation as they are passionate about the aims and it being a vital support needed for sufferers of spinal injuries.
