Why are we crowdfunding?

This is where you should explain the reason you need to raise money, is your organisation financially struggling due to the cost of living crisis? Perhaps you need to improve facilities or buy new kit? Tell us here.

(If you're applying for extra funding, this is a good place to demonstrate why your project is eligible so refer back to the criteria to help complete this section)

How we’ll spend the money raised

It’s important to be transparent about how you plan to spend the money you raise. Your audience will be more likely to make a pledge if they can see how their donation will help.

Community impact

It’s important to explain the wider impact of your organisation for the whole community, who does it benefit and why? Perhaps your facilities are used for other purposes outside of sport too?

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 our 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. Fundraise for us. If you want to run your own fundraiser – 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!

Rewards

This project offers rewards in return for your donation. Please select a reward below.

£10 or more

I am pulling the guard!

I have been into jiujitsu for two years, and so far, pulling guard in the competition hasn't crossed my mind. Until now. If at least five people donate £10, I will do it, and if ten people donate, I will post it on my IG. I promise you will see me pulling guard in the major tournament. (Believe it or not, I never thought I'd be saying this... but here we are.)

£20 or more

Wrestle up

If I pull the guard, it's to wrestle up with my opponent! I have worked on a few variations already. Some are sneaky, some are explosive, and others are simple but effective. Let's see which one I am going to hit my opponents with. Thanks for your support, and have a great day.

Wrist Lock

Let's make a deal: you will work with me on improving your mental performance, and I will work on getting comfortable with applying wrist locks, which many consider a "dirty move." Opt for this reward and you'll receive two one-hour coaching sessions with me. These sessions are designed to equip you with the skills to excel under pressure and boost your confidence, whether it's on the mat or in your professional life.

Duck Under

Perfect reward to start dodging your negative thoughts and narratives. Choose this reward and get four sessions to work on your mental performance. Together we will work on self-talk that will help you build real confidence, perform well under the pressure and bounce back from setbacks. As for competition, Duck Under is one of my favourite moves, and I will certainly look for openings to perform it on my opponents.
