The Matt Hampson Foundation provides advice, support, relief and treatment for anyone aged 16 or over suffering serious injury or disability which has primarily arisen from participation in or training for any sport or sporting activity. The Foundation offers expert physiotherapy and specialised personal training from its state-of-the-art gym as well as wellbeing support and nutrition and health advice. Building a sense of community is central to the Matt Hampson Foundation. In the aftermath of an incident which leads to a life-changing injury, most people and their families feel isolated with an overwhelming sense of loss for what has been taken away from them. By becoming part of the community that Matt has created, 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 as they retrain themselves to focus on what they can do – not what they can’t.
