LooseHeadz is rugby’s mental health charity on a mission to save lives by placing a

mental health champion at every rugby club in the world.

 

1 in 4 people struggle with their mental health in the UK each year, and tragically, suicide

is the biggest killer of men under the age of 50, and people under the age of 35.

 

Founded in 2017, LooseHeadz started as a conversation at the end of a local rugby club

bar by 3 mates who’d all had mates that experienced a 'life wobble’.

 

The charity now works with over 1,400 rugby clubs around the world, and was an Official

Charity Partner to The British and Irish Lions in 2025.

 

Tackle Suicide CIC exists to protect and strengthen the mental health, wellbeing,

and lives of current and former rugby and contact-sport athletes. This includes

preventing crisis, self-harm, and suicide by strengthening support long before

players reach breaking point.

 

We amplify lived experiences, provide trusted resources and pathways to support, and

help people feel seen, connected, hopeful, and able to get and stay well.

 

Through this independent work, we aim to shape broader conversations and improve

athlete mental wellbeing in communities everywhere.
