The Lions Trust exists to connect with, nurture and support all Lions players in need whilst furthering the spirit, values and ethos of The British & Irish Lions throughout rugby clubs across England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
A Lions Tour is a unique event, built on the foundations of respect, unity and generosity of spirit, therefore The Lions Trust is made up solely of trustees that have represented the Lions on Tour. Gavin Hastings is the chairman of trustees, while Richard Hill, Jamie Roberts and Tommy Bowe are also members of the board.
The Trust’s purpose is to fulfil and further the values of the Lions through practical and direct means, which means contributing to the Lions responsibility to the past while also helping protect the future of rugby’s most special sporting and social entity. A key priority is the welfare of Lions players who can’t access the necessary financial, medical and appropriate complementary support required to live in a dignified manner or maintain their personal wellbeing.
