About Beverley Rugby Union Football Club and The Future
Since 1886 RUFC has been at the heart of the community in Beverley and surrounding area. We have seen many players, supporters, friends and family through the club and many current players are second or even third generation, continuing to play here since they were minis, juniors, colts and adult senior rugby
A place where competition and friendship go hand in hand. We have three senior teams and a fantastic Sunday morning mini, junior, colts and ladies and girls setup, getting kids playing and training from 6-18 years old. The club acts as a ‘hub’ for the local community and is a volunteer led and inclusive community Rugby Club.
The survival of the club is dependent on the support of the members and the community, . The day-by-day clubhouse and grounds upkeep commitments the club has are unceasing, and keeping the club open to support our members, rugby and other community activities is something we are desperate to sustain.
How Covid 19 Has negatively Affected the Financial Position of The Club
What Will the Money Be Going Towards?
The funds raised through this crowdfunding initiative will go towards ensuring the financial sustainability of our club during the COVID-19 crisis; and onwards as we exit this difficult period.
With the cessation of all sporting activities and the closure of our clubhouse, we have an estimated lost income of over £80,000 (to date) since the start of lockdown. We urgently need financial support to keep basic services running and to prepare for the gradual re-opening and return to rugby at Beaver Park. This will support such items as:
But now we really need YOUR support…Due to COVID-19, all activities at the club were suspended.
This not only resulted in the immediate loss of our weekly income from bar revenue at matches and the hire of our facilities, but the pandemic has also taken away 3 of our biggest fundraising events; Ladies Day, Bestifal, and our Presentation Awards.
The income that these events generate for the club each year is essential in keeping the club doors open, and our facilities on offer to all in our community.
Please spread the word! Make sure that all your family and friends know about this site. Do not be afraid to share our effort on social media. Most of all, please contribute no matter how small, all donations will be massively appreciated.
100% of all donations will go to our club, and our club only. And if we raise our target, we are hoping Sport England will provide up to 50% matched funding!
