Score Chaplaincy - SCORE: Rugby Union

We appointed a chaplain at Newcastle because we recognised that the newer generation of players could benefit from having someone in this role - to support them, befriend them, and help them keep a sense of perspective. With the high intensity of the professional game I would commend the development of chaplaincy throughout rugby.
Rob Andrew, Director of Elite Rugby, RFU

The PRA welcomes the growing number of chaplains in the game as complementing its own player welfare work. This new role will help develop that partnership, and it is a significant addition to the ongoing player support and will benefit all involved in Rugby Union.
Damian Hopley, Chief Executive, Professional Rugby Players Association

Professional rugby can be a pressured world, and in my experience, particularly while at Wasps, chaplains can really help. They provide an independent ear, and are a good place to get confidential counsel and advice. It is an important role.
Matt Dawson, England & British Lions

Chaplaincy gives a whole other dimension to our club. It brings a personal touch - people feel they can be listened to as individuals. If chaplaincy was established in every club, I think it would be of huge benefit to the game as a whole
Ian McGeechan, Director of Rugby, London Wasps, & Head Coach British Lions 2009

I am delighted to endorse SCORE and their increasing involvement in sport. At Swansea we have had a SCORE chaplain for 4 years and would firmly recommend such a relationship to any team environment. It has been great to have a confidential friend of the club on board.
Tony Clement, Team Manager Wales U20, & Former Head Coach Swansea RFC

The involvement of SCORE with Ulster Rugby has been significant.
Michael Reid, Chief Executive, Ulster Rugby

Chaplaincy is integral to the life and work of London Wasps. Professional sport brings many pressures both on and off the pitch. Both players and staff at London Wasps have benefitted from the personal pastoral & spiritual support provided, and we happily commend it to others.
Tony Copsey, CEO London Wasps

There was considerable gratitude expressed for the work done by SCORE in provision of chaplaincy throughout the Commonwealth Games. People were impressed by the quality of the team involved, the breadth of provision.... So thank you SCORE for a massive contribution to the games. Revd Christopher Mayfield, (When Bishop of Manchester 2002)
