Story

Leeds Rhinos Foundation is a charity committed to changing lives through sport and making sport accessible for all. In 2018 the charity launched its first Physical Disability team who competed in the UK's first PDRL fixture. This was followed by the creation of a Learning Disability Super League team who have represented the Rhinos in festivals and games at venues such as the world famous Anfield. The charity's work with the city's community teams has helped support the game at grassroots level with more players able to access the game and fulfil their potential. The women's and girls game has grown massively over the last decade and over half of the Rhinos Women's team have come through the Academy, which is run by Leeds Rhinos Foundation. The progression of the Wheelchair game has been another success story of inclusivity in the sport and more people are now playing with the Leeds Rhinos Wheelchair team who won the treble in 2021.
