NPA establishes a Benevolent Fund

Following the sad news of the collapse of Wasps Netball, the Netball Players Association has established a fund to support players in financial hardship arising from the club’s collapse.

The fund will be used to support players who have lost their club salary and have been unable to secure a contract with another NSL club. Although the league has amended the regulations to allow former Wasps players to sign for other clubs, these opportunities are very limited with all clubs having completed their recruitment in September.

The Netball Players Association was established in 2018 to provide a voice for players, a support network and to advocate for their well-being and needs. Since then, the association has gone from strength to strength, providing players with contractual advice and support as well as personal development services and welfare support.

The NPA Benevolent Fund will continue after the current need due to the club collapse, so adding to the services that the NPA offers to members.
