Recently, the WRPA has welcomed the Welsh 7's as members of the association. The WRPA provides its members with a Personal Development Programme (PDP), which allows Personal Development Managers (PDM's) to undertake the personal development of players, whilst they continue to train as full-time professionals. The PDM's role is to support players in an array of areas including: Vulnerabilities, Careers & Education, Life Skills and "Mental Wellbeing". The Welsh Rugby Players Association also provides it members support through its official charity, . The charity provides support to players who are facing hardship and are in times of need. Support is given to members over a range of areas whether it be financial, medical, integral or mental health related. The WRPA headquarters are in Cardiff, Wales (en)
