The Steve Prescott Foundation is delighted to announce that our recent charity partnership with Workington Town Rugby League Football Club has raised an incredible £11,102, with the proceeds being shared equally between the Steve Prescott Foundation and Every Life Matters Cumbria.
The funds will enable both charities to continue making a real difference within their communities. The Steve Prescott Foundation’s share will support our beneficiaries, The Christie Charity and the Seriously Injured Players Fund (Rugby League Cares), while Every Life Matters Cumbria will continue its outstanding work supporting suicide prevention and those experiencing crisis across the region.
The event perfectly demonstrated everything that is great about the Rugby League family, with the club, supporters, sponsors and volunteers all coming together for two fantastic causes.
A special thank you goes to Workington Town RLFC, Chairman Graeme Peers, Director Carl Porter, Match Ball Sponsor Complete Roofing Systems, our ambassadors Tommy Martyn and Bennie Westwood, and everyone who supported the day.
The phenomenal shirt auction, which saw the iconic Prescott No.1 shirt and Zarrin Galea’s shirt each raise £1,000, was just one of many highlights from a truly memorable occasion.
Linzi Prescott, wife of the late Steve Prescott MBE, said:
“On behalf of everyone at the Steve Prescott Foundation, I would like to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone connected with Workington Town for making the day so special. It means so much to us to see Stephen’s legacy continuing to inspire people and raise vital funds for such important causes. Every pound raised helps us continue supporting The Christie and the Seriously Injured Players Fund, and we are incredibly grateful to everyone who played their part in making this remarkable total possible.”
The Steve Prescott Foundation is immensely proud to have shared this special day with Every Life Matters Cumbria, and together we thank everyone who contributed to an unforgettable occasion.
£11,102 raised. One incredible Rugby League family. Two amazing charities.

It was an honour and a privilege to accept a fantastic donation of £1,000 from our long-term supporters, Handepay
Having the opportunity to share the story of Steve Prescott MBE with new members of the Handepay team is always a pleasure. Their journey has mirrored that of the Steve Prescott Foundation, as they celebrate their 20th anniversary, and they have now spent more than a decade providing invaluable logistical and financial support.
This generosity is genuinely appreciated and will make a real difference to the lives of so many people.
Quite simply, without companies such as Handepay, we would not be able to continue the astonishing legacy of the great Steve Prescott MBE and raise vital funds for The Christie Charity and the Seriously Injured Players Fund Rugby League Cares
From everyone connected with the Steve Prescott Foundation, thank you for your incredible support.

Workington Town are delighted to announce confirmation of our charity partners for 2026 are the Steve Prescott Foundation & Every Life Matters, the driving force behind the Cumbria United Suicide prevention initiative that is using the power & platform of sport to reduce the high suicide rates in Cumbria. Workington Town RLFC are incredibly proud to join forces with two such powerful partners and hope we can help create significant funds to support their work.
We will play in the specially designed kit that combines the purple of Every Life Matters with the iconic kit that Steve Prescott wore in an iconic image that will never be forgotten after his incredible try in the 1996 Challenge Cup Final comeback win over the Bradford Bulls. Steve went on to make history as being the first man in the world to undertake the first multi visceral transplant operation, leading to many, many lives being saved!
