WEBSITE IS YOUR PERFECT PARTNER TO THE FOUNDATION
The Matt Hampson Foundation has relaunched its website, making it easier than ever to learn all about its work with young people and how the public can offer further support.
Its relaunched website at www.matthampsonfoundation.org features a full guide to the work of the Foundation and the team behind it, as well as profiles of beneficiaries and ambassadors.
An outstanding short film on the home page brings to life how Matt and the Foundation makes a lasting difference to beneficiaries and their families, while there are sections on major fundraising events including Walk4Matt this June and the inaugural Get Busy Cycling charity ride in September, advice on organising your own challenges and an A-Z list of fundraising ideas for events of all sizes.
See how companies can team up with the Foundation either as an adopted charity or through the Get Busy Learning programme, and keep up to date with news via a direct feed on the website from the Foundation’s Instagram page.
With new, simplified navigation, users can find everything they need to know about Matt, the Foundation and the Get Busy Living Centre’s support to young people seriously injured through sport, including physiotherapy, specialist personal training, mentoring and advice to help people with life-changing injuries to get busy living again.
Since his 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 a ventilator, rather than lament what he’d lost, Matt instead decided to focus on the things he could still do and to get busy living. He established the Matt Hampson Foundation in 2011 to help others receive the support they need to rebuild their lives after suffering similar catastrophic injuries through sport and the Get Busy Living Centre in Leicestershire was opened in 2018.
Beneficiaries are able to draw on the experience and knowledge of people who have been on the same journey. They develop the tools and skills they need to move on as they start to rebuild their lives. The centre becomes a place where they can be part of a strong and active social scene and eventually beneficiaries become the ones providing support to others. This is a huge part of their rehabilitation and being able to help others provides a real sense of purpose and identity.
