Bolsover Bulls RFL Sponsored Walk

Who are we?

We are Bolsover Bulls RFL, a rugby league club based in South Normanton, Derbyshire. We offer rugby league training and matches for children aged 3 and up. Our club is run entirely by volunteers, from coaches to cafe staff and committee members.

Why are we crowdfunding?

We are raising funds to continue to be able to offer sessions for our players. We need money to purchase kit that complies with safe play regulations, keep the cafe stocked, be able to offer rewards for player of the week and for commitment to training, to be able to put on community events like picnics, family fun days and the annual Christmas party. We also need funds to be able to put new coaches through their training so they're able to run sessions.

Our main source of income is subs, which we keep very affordable at £15 a month, and the cafe when we have enough volunteers to open it. So we rely on fundraising to top up the money we have available to invest back in to the club.

How we’ll spend the money raised

We are specifically looking for funds to purchase new winter training equipment. Any extra funds will be used for the general running of the club as described above.

Community impact

There are very few social activities for kids within the local area, so it's really important that the club is able to continue running to allow kids somewhere safe and affordable to spend their time. It also allows our young talent to start their training to be able to progress to higher leagues. Our work also ensures that children have a good form of structured physical activity to work on their physical and mental wellbeing.
