Burleigh Travel are a proud supporter and Business ClubPartner of the Rugby Players’ Association and their charity RESTART RUGBY.
The Rugby Players Association is a not-for-profit representative body of professional rugby players in England.
They look after the collective welfare interest of the 650 current male and female RPA members, as well as over 380 former players. Many professorial players have travelled on Burleigh Travel rugby tours as mini or junior rugby players and by supporting the RPA and its charity we can give something back to the sport of rugby that we all love.
The aim of The RPA business partnership is to get to the heart of the game and align with rugby’s core values in a proactive way. Burleigh Travel gain unprecedented access to elite rugby players both past and present while giving back to the game, as every business partnership directly benefits the players and the game.
The partnership also gives us the opportunity to invite tour organisers of our touring teams to fantastic events hosted by the RPA where you can rub shoulders with the stars of the game whilst enjoying champagne receptions, fine dining and the very best of entertainment whilst supporting and raising valuable funds for the RPA’s charity RESTART RUGBY.
