We need to ensure that our club is accessible and welcoming to anyone who would like to enjoy the facilities, participate or engage with the sports and attend events. However, the clubhouse is a two-storey building with step-only access to the hub of the club, the function suite. This therefore excludes a large number of people from being able to enjoy this space and our potential to offer a more diverse range of sporting initiatives.

How we will spend the money raised
As you will have seen in the video, we are therefore on a mission to raise money to make our clubhouse facilities truly accessible for all by:

Installing a lift
Installing ramps from the car park to the entrance
Installing automatic doors at the entrance to the clubhouse and entrance to the function suite
Installation of a new disabled toilet on the 1st floor
Renovation of the existing Ladies and Men's toilets

To make this project a reality, we need to ask for your help!

By contributing you will be making a difference in the community and to your local sports and social club. Improving the accessibility of the club will allow us to better support all those that require lift assistance, enabling us to invite a wider audience to both participate and engage in sports or social activities at the Club.

We have an immediate target of £20,000 by the end of May 2023, with a stretch target of £60,000, to enable us to deliver this lasting positive change to our Club. The immediate target will enable installation of the lift and provide step-free access from the car park to the Function Suite, and all money raised over and above this will be used to provide a disabled toilet on the same floor as the Function Suite, and do much needed refurbishments to the male and female toilets.

How you can play your part
There are four simple ways to help us reach our target and make this project a reality.

1. Make a pledge. Don't delay if you're going to support us because momentum is key to success

2. Spread the word. Share our project on your social media pages and tell the world to get behind us! The more people we reach, the more support we will get.

3. Offer rewards. Get involved if you are a local business by donating things we can offer to our supporters. We will give you a shout out!

4. If you want to run your own fundraiser to support us, maybe a sponsored activity or similar, use the 'contact project' button at the top of our page to let us know. Setting up your own page only takes a few minutes and you won't need any bank details. Just a fun idea!
