Safety in Rugby is the most prominent it has been since the sport began. As a club Burton RFC are promoting young people to play safely within the game we all love therefore we have invited a very special guest speaker for our 2017 Sporting Dinner - Matt Hampson.

Since his life changing accident in 2005 during an England Under 21 rugby training session, Matt has battled hard to live as normal a life as possible. Paralysed from the neck down and breathing via the aid of a ventilator, it is testament to him that he decided to set up the Foundation so that others who have suffered similar catastrophic injuries through sport can receive support and assistance. As well as his Foundation duties which include, visiting, mentoring, providing advice and fundraising, Matt delivers inspirational and entertaining talks to young people and businesses around the country.

He is also a forwards coach at Oakham School and Oakham Rugby Club, an ambassador for both the RFU's Injured Players Fund and Restart (The Professional Rugby Association's charity). Patron of Special Effect a charity set up to help disabled children communicate through technology.

Matt will be accompanied by some of his friends and stars of the rugby world on the evening including Marco Ayerza (Argentina International, Tigers) and some surprise guests.

Cost per ticket is £45 including 3 Course Meal, Guest Speaker Matt Hampson, Comedian and special guests from the rugby world.
