MIKE TINDALL MBE

Mike Tindall MBE is patron of the Matt Hampson Foundation and our biggest advocate. Former England rugby captain Mike has been a friend of Matt’s and a supporter of the charity since its beginnings in 2011, becoming patron in 2014 and officially opening the Get Busy Living Centre in 2018 .

Capped 75 times by England, Mike was part of the Rugby World Cup-winning squad in 2003 and the last of that group to retire from the game, playing for a last time in 2014. Since retirement, he has featured on a number of reality TV programmes including I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here, Bear Grylls: Mission Survive and The Jump, and is a regular on the podcast, The Good The Bad & The Rugby.

Mike is married to Zara Phillips, the daughter of Anne, Princess Royal, and niece of King Charles III. They have three children.

Mike is a very active patron and advocate of the Foundation. His charity golf day is hugely popular every year and raises valuable funds for the Foundation.

“It was a massive honour when Matt asked me to be patron of the Foundation. The way he has conducted himself since his injury in 2005, and the number of people he has helped is remarkable.

“You can never imagine what it is like to suffer an injury like Matt’s or any of the beneficiaries, but to see them all out there getting busy living is inspiring. It’s the power of wanting to move on and live your life and you just have to be in awe of that. I’m proud to be part of this charity and I’m excited to see where we can take it in the coming years”
