Why are we crowdfunding?
After 30 years of dedicated service, our trusty dive boat has reached the end of its life, and we need your help to replace it. We’re building a bespoke dive platform that will provide a safer, more accessible, and convenient entry point for local SCUBA divers. This new boat will serve both experienced divers and newcomers, with special features that make it ideal for divers with some disabilities—offering a smoother and more secure entry and exit. Additionally, the new boat will give our club the ability to explore an even wider range of dive sites.
A Special Thanks to Sport England for Their Match Funding Support!
We are thrilled to announce that thanks to Sport England's generous match funding (£7,500 from Sport England), we have the opportunity to raise £15,000 to support Arnewood Divers dive platform. Their support is instrumental in helping us reach our goal and make a real difference in the community. We are incredibly grateful for their belief in our vision and their commitment to helping us bring this project to life.
Every contribution, no matter how big or small matters, bringing us one step closer to achieving our target. Thank you for your support and for being a part of something special!
