Funding For Community Rugby

The Pitch

Problem statement

Since 1883, we have been a small but dedicated club, providing opportunities for rugby enthusiasts of all ages and abilities. However, maintaining our club's facilities and equipment can be quite costly, and we are currently seeking funding for essential upgrades and maintenance. Specifically, we are in need of new rugby equipment, such as balls, pads, and tackle bags, as our current equipment is outdated and worn out. Additionally, we require general maintenance to keep our facilities in top condition, ensuring the safety of our members and the quality of the game. The cost of pitch maintenance has also increased, and we are in need of funding to cover these additional expenses.

Solution

The goal of our project is to improve Parkhouse Rugby Club by upgrading equipment for both our mini and adult sections, as well as essential pitch maintenance and repairs. With this funding, we can ensure a safer and higher quality experience for our members and continue promoting rugby within our community. Your support will make a significant impact on the future of our club and the development of rugby in our local area.

Why are we best placed to deliver?

Parkhouse Rugby Club has a proud history since 1883 and is committed to promoting rugby within our community. Our recent success is a testament to our dedication and hard work, with both our first and second teams growing in strength, and our mini section continues to expand, providing opportunities for children of all ages to participate in rugby and develop new skills. As a club, we welcome players of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds to join us in promoting the sport of rugby. With the support of funding, we can upgrade our equipment and facilities to continue building on our success and promoting rugby at a local level.

Expected impact

Our project aims to create a positive impact for both our players and the community. Upgraded equipment for our mini and adult sections will provide greater opportunities for rugby enthusiasts of all abilities to develop and improve their skills. Our target is to see a 10% increase in participation within the first year. Pitch maintenance and repairs will ensure a safer playing environment for our members, reducing the risk of injuries and allowing us to play games throughout the season. This will also benefit other local sports teams and community groups who use our facilities, improving our relationships with the wider community. Overall, we expect our project to promote physical health and wellbeing, inspiring more people to adopt an active lifestyle and develop new skills through rugby. Our investment in the club will enable us to continue serving as a valuable community asset, fostering the growth of rugby in the area for years to come
