Hearts and Balls

The Hearts and Balls Charitable Trust is a Scottish registered charity. The charity was founded in 1999 and exists to support rugby players and their families in the aftermath of serious injury on the field. In the period between 1999 and 2009, the trust has provided over £200,000 to assist with costs such as new wheelchairs, adaptations to homes and vehicles, and mortgage interest payments for the family of the injured party to help cope with loss of earnings. The charity is run by a board of five members.
