Adam Walne - RLE FOUNDER/Managing Director

 Adam is a purpose-driven creative leader with a strong passion for designing impactful services that create meaningful, lasting change — particularly for those who need it most.

With over a decade of experience in elite sport as a professional rugby league player, he has developed the resilience, leadership, and strategic thinking needed to build high-impact organisations.

Today, Adam channels that experience into two ventures: RAW & OUTDOOR (R&O), a health and fitness community focused on helping people optimise their physical and mental wellbeing, and Real Life Education (RLE), an innovative model for therapeutic care and education supporting vulnerable young people across the UK.

Whether he’s helping someone improve their health or empowering a young person to transform their future, Adam’s mission remains the same: to create meaningful social value and deliver outcomes that truly matter.

He firmly believes that everyone deserves the opportunity to discover their potential, overcome adversity, and build a future they’re proud of — and that belief is what drives him in everything he does.
