Quins and the Richard Langhorn Trust
By Prof December 27 2005
The Richard Langhorn Trust (RLT) was founded in 1994 in memory of Harlequins player Richard Langhorn who tragically died that year having served his club for over ten years as well as being selected for England As, most people expected him to break through into the full England team very soon.
The Richard Langhorn Trust (RLT) was founded in 1994 in memory of Harlequins player Richard Langhorn who tragically died that year having served his club for over ten years as well as being selected for England As, most people expected him to break through into the full England team very soon.
Richard had a keen love for sports and so, in his memory, the mission of the Trust is to provide sporting opportunities for young people regardless of their age, gender, race, ability or background.
Since its creation, the Trust has given financial help and encouraged hundreds of children across the world. From coaching rugby and providing a home for poverty stricken children in Calcutta to funding wheelchair basket ball in the UK; the Richard Langhorn Trust has bought smiles to many young peoples faces.
Helping to raise funds are Trustee Peter Winterbottom and Patrons Jason Leonard, Lawrence Dallaglio and Will Carling. With their help we hope to build on the success of the past ten years and give youngsters even more opportunities to participate in, and enjoy, a variety of sport.
The RLT became one of NEC Harlequins' Community Sponsors in January 2001 and they are now the club's official charity for the next two years following on from the British Paralympic Association and WhizzKidz.
They do work with a number of charities and help to support wheelchair basketball, The Meridian Trust, Rugby in the Community, The Calvert Trust and, one that is particularly close to my heart, Future Hope.
If you would like to help support the RLT you can become a member of the RLT Club 200 or you can go to one of their excellent fund raising events such as the RLT (Late) Summer Ball on Friday 16th September 2005.
