The charity currently employs 6 Rugby Development Officers (RDOs) coaching rugby across 85 rural schools.

The charity works to improve the experience of patients and carers when they access those services run by the CNWL NHS Foundation Trust, as well as to support staff who look after them. The Trust provides a wide range of Mental Health, Learning Disability, Addictions, Eating Disorder and Community services, for children, working age adults, and older adults, across North, and North West London. Some of these services are recognised nationally as specialist in their fields, and patients may be referred from anywhere within the UK. Where possible, the Trust seeks to see and treat patients close to their local community. However, sometimes, an individual needs a period on a ward, and CNWL is able to provide this too. To achieve this, CNWL has over 100 sites across North and North West London. Individual donations or fundraising activities from friends and supporters of the Trust are very welcome. While the Charity prefers to keep donations unrestricted, all clinical teams have access to funds designated for their use by the Charity. These funds are often used to provide facilities or experiences for patients and staff. Two examples are: The Nightingale Project, which seeks to bring art and artists into a clinical environment, to provide colour and stimulation, is an example of the significant impact the charity has on the lives and experiences of patients and staff. The Tanzania Link Project: The Trust is developing a long term relationship with a hospital in Mirembe, Tanzania. The Charity is able to support this work, and the development of staff, who are able to give their time to the project.
