Raising funds to open one of the first sports bars in the UK to screen exclusively women's sport.

by The Other Team Sports Bar in London, Greater London, United Kingdom

We really need your help.

As many of you know, we have been gearing up for the launch of our first venue.

Our aim has always been to make women's sport accessible to everyone, no matter their gender, sexuality, race, or background. 

But, we’ve hit a bump in the road…

Recently, we lost our funding, and now we need your support more than ever to make this dream a reality.

If you believe in creating spaces where women's sports thrive and people of all backgrounds are welcome, please consider supporting our fundraiser. Even a small contribution can make a huge impact.

Together, we can build a community that champions equality in sports and beyond.

Who We Are: 

The Other Team is a queer, female-led company that is opening a community sports bar in London, exclusively streaming and celebrating women's sport at all levels. The Other Team Sports Bar will be a welcoming, inclusive and empowering space in which anyone of any gender and sexuality can come together, relax, meet new people and be entertained - all whilst promoting and empowering women, non-binary and trans folk in sport. 

What We Will Do: 

The Other Team Sports Bar will focus on giving back to the local sporting community through outreach, sponsorship and fundraising - working in close partnership with female and non-binary athletes, teams and supporters across London.

Not only will we provide a safe space to relax, watch women's sports and socialise, we will also host various events for teams and fans alike: 

  • Meet and greets
  • Fundraising nights
  • Recruitment events
  • Open mic nights 
  • Whatever else the communities ask for!

What Are We Crowdfunding For?

We do not yet have a fixed venue for the bar and are currently fundraising towards the cost of opening a permanent venue! This includes: 

  • Planning application and licensing 
  • Venue rental deposit and fees
  • Fit-out and decor
  • Staffing hire
  • Further watch party events and fundraising

How Can You Help?

In order to make our dream a reality, we are asking for donations and/or for you to share with your friends, teammates and colleagues! You can also help by purchasing merchandise from our website, sharing our social media and coming along to our events!

Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for your ongoing support!

Elise, Alex, Honey and the rest of the team!
