Good evening all
Thank you so much for your generosity in supporting the club in our fund raising to date. We have an amazing £1300 donated by over 30 individuals, which truly is a fantastic response to our appeal.
We would like to inform you that we will be closing the Just Giving page and will be transferring the current amount into a new crowdfunding page which is being supported by Sport England.
You may have seen that Sport England recently launched an initiative, in which they will match any funds we raise upto £10,000.
We have been liaising with Sport England and the GRFU and they have advised that we switch asap in order to maximise the potential for matched funding. However, there is a caveat that we must have a certain number of donors for us to qualify and unfortunately the funds generated via the JustGiving page will only appear as one donation.
This is a great opportunity to raise additional funds quickly and easily and therefore, please may I ask for another push with donations no matter how small as they all count.
There are a couple of rewards that we hope you may take advantage of with your donations. The first is securing your ticket to our first social event. In the Rewards section on Crowdfunder on the right hand side you will see a reward titled Social Event. Follow this link and make your donation but please make sure you leave your name so we ensure you are not left disappointed. There are only 50 of these Rewards so make sure you get in early!
The other reward is a sponsorship Reward, by donating £150 you will be securing your Pitch side board for the 21/22 season. Select the Sponsorship Reward and leave your details!
Please use the following link for all donations and please share with your friends!

For those who haven’t used it, is a great way raise money by carrying out your shopping through the web page. There is no extra cost to you, but all retailers will give the club a donation for each purchase we make! With Christmas around the corner (and if you are like me you haven’t started shopping yet) this is a great time to raise money quickly and easily using this link
