Throughout the long history of the Middlesex Charity Sevens, there have been a number of beneficiaries of the event, including the Wavell Wakefield Rugby Union Youth Trust and the Middlesex County Rugby Football Union Memorial Fund. Currently, there are two Charities that benefit directly from the proceeds of the Middlesex Charity Sevens. These are the PRA Benevolent Fund and the RFU Injured Player's Foundation. The PRA Benevolent Fund was established in 2001 to provide financial support for players who have been forced to retire from the game due to serious injury or illness, and support players’ families in the event of their untimely death. The RFU Injured Players Foundation supports people who sustain a catastrophic injury (CI) whilst playing rugby. The charity provides help and support for both players and their families in the early months of these injuries as well as in the long term and incorporates the former SPIRE Rugby Trust charity.
