Why are we crowdfunding?

We are in desperate need of additional changing facilities. 

We want to convert two containers into changing rooms 

We need to do this because we do not have sufficient changing facilities to support the number of teams at our club.  

We have been saving hard to cover the cost of the conversion but we need one last big push so that we can start the work as soon as possible so please support us by donating whatever you can to the club

How we’ll spend the money raised

Sport England will pledge £15,000 if raise at least £15,000 -  We will use that money to convert these empty containers into changing rooms.
