Hampson, the former Leicester prop, on the emotional strain of Covid for disabled people: “When you have underlying health conditions it is very scary. It’s been very, very stressful for a lot of people.”
While many have “been left to their own devices by a lot of organisations”, the Matt Hampson Foundation has been striving to fill the gap. “We wanted to say to people: ‘Look, we’ll get through this together and we’ll come out stronger. We’ll always support you and your families, no matter what is going on in the world. We’ll always be here, at the end of the line.’
