A statement released by the foundation said contingency plans had been put in place that would allow all community programmes to continue.

It also runs adapted games for people with mental health issues and helps young people who aren’t in education or employment to gain qualifications.

“In light of the current situation with Sixways Stadium and Worcester Warriors, I want to reassure all our participants, partners and funders that the Warriors Foundation remains financially stable and has put in place contingency plans to enable us to continue all our programmes,” said Carol Hart, CEO of the Worcester Warriors Foundation.

“If we need to change the location of any project in particular, we will let you know via our normal channels. 

“Please also keep an eye on our social media channels for up-to-date information.”
