Aim
Can we really convert two old, rundown containers into swanky new changing rooms?!
Who are we?
- Dewsbury Moor Sports Club is a not-for-profit making organisation providing sport and social facilities to the community of Dewsbury Moor and surrounding area. Our primary sport is Rugby League (Dewsbury Moor Amateur Rugby League Football Club) but we also provide facilities for the following:

- Saville Bowman archery club http://www.savile-bowmen.org.uk/
- Over 50s social club
- Bat-Girls Ladies only Rounders’ team
- Yorkshire Phoenix Table Football Club, playing as Dewsbury Moor TFC
We have circa 400 players and 600 members.
We have 17 junior rugby league teams with circa 250 children aged from 3 years to 18 – Boys and Girls
We also have 2 Open Age mens rugby teams consisting of circa 50 players
We also have 2 Open Age football teams – 1 mens team, 1 womens team – circa 50 players
Dewsbury Moor is a Super Output area and is in the bottom 10% of the most deprived areas in the UK. Dewsbury Moor Sports club support the residents of Dewsbury Moor in many ways including providing a social hub for the whole family.
We provide:
- Support local families when they are in times of need/hardship
- Keeps children (3 years to 18 years / girls and boys) off the streets
- Keeps children and adults (Open Age teams) fit and healthy
- Enables children and adults to develop as individuals, instilling confidence and self-belief
- Encourages team work and the belief that there is strength in numbers
- Provide role model support and mentorship to the youth in our care
- Uses local business as suppliers
- Employ local people (mainly under 25s)
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.
