Who are we?
We are a community Rugby Club from Sheffield and we play our home games at Dore Moor on the outskirts of Sheffield on the edge of the Peak District. We are proud to provide rugby for all age groups & genders. We have players at the club as young as 4 and as old as 50! We have a very successful men’s & women's team alongside well established boys section and a growing girls section.
We are proud to be the home of Sheffield Vulcans, the city's successful and popular all-inclusive club who will host the IGR Finals at Tigers this year.
Why are we crowdfunding?
Running a community sports club is tough! You want to provide a great service to the community, you want to be able to provide sporting activities to everyone and you want to make it accessible to all, without finances being a barrier.
Unfortunately in recent years the cost of running a club like ours has gone through the roof, meaning we have had to put every penny we have into keeping it going month to month . As such we have not been able to generate a cash surplus to update & maintain our facilities to the standard we would like.
We are crowdfunding to raise money to renovate our clubhouse and upgrade our boiler system! This is essential for the club moving forward, so we can offer a comfortable, appealing environment and lower our energy bills, and provide reliable washing facilities for our players, members and visitors.
How we’ll spend the money raised?
We will spend 100% of the money raised on updating our facilities at Sheffield Tigers. Firstly the boiler system will be updated. Then we will be repairing & replacing the floor & the ceiling of our clubhouse bar. We will be updating the furniture and layout to make the space more functional for our members. As well as giving the place a lick of paint and provide feature walls celebrating the clubs history.
