Ben Cohen is a highly admired sports personality and humanitarian, renowned for his exceptional achievements on and off the rugby field.
Ben's impact extends far beyond rugby. With a deep-rooted passion for helping others, he established the Ben Cohen StandUp Foundation, a non-profit organisation committed to raising awareness about the long-term effects of bullying. Through his foundation, Ben has been instrumental in promoting anti-bullying initiatives and advocating for a safe and inclusive environment for all individuals. Living with only 40% hearing, profound high-frequency deafness, and constant tinnitus, Ben also brings a deeply personal perspective on resilience, overcoming challenges, and inclusivity.
Ben is recognised as an honoured ally of the LGBTQ+ community. He has been a staunch supporter and advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, leveraging his powerful position as a straight man with a large LGBTQ+ following to promote acceptance, understanding, and equality. His efforts to combat homophobia and discrimination in sports and society have been truly commendable. In recognition of his exceptional contributions to sports and advocacy, Ben was among the initial inductees into the National Gay and Lesbian Sports Hall of Fame. This highlights his dedication to fostering a more inclusive and tolerant sporting community.
As a speaker, Ben brings his unique experiences, insights, and values to the stage. He shares inspiring stories from his rugby career and uses his platform to highlight the importance of addressing bullying and discrimination. His talks often emphasise the significance of creating a safe and supportive environment for everyone, irrespective of their backgrounds or identities. Ben's authenticity and passion make him a compelling speaker, and his ability to connect with diverse audiences makes his messages resonate profoundly.
