Sport England: Active Together has provided £6,000 of match funding
Old Priorians RFC matched crowdfunding
Perivale, England, United Kingdom
Aim
This fundraising is aimed at providing a sustainable platform to maintain high quality amateur rugby over the next 3-4 seasons at Perivale.
Who we are
Old Priorians RFC was rebirthed just over 12 years ago. Providing community rugby for over a decade, we are an integral part of the amateur rugby scene in Middlesex and the South East.
In addition to having two men's amateur rugby teams, we are involved in the local community, training with local schools, holding careers events for local schools, helping with work experience and regularly raising funds to support charities including HCPT, Restart and Marie Curie Cancer Care.
Why we need your support now
As a result of COVID-19 leading to the cancellation of the majority of our games this year, we have lost several key revenue streams as a result of COVID-19 whilst still needing to pay for fixed costs such as coaching, pitch hire, etc. As such, we need your support now to push through this difficult time.
Additionally, we are looking to raise money to create a stable and sustainable financial platform where we can continue to provide this level of rugby going forward. It has always been our stated desire to strive to be the best possible community rugby club and we hope that your support will help us remain at the forefront of the grass-roots game in Middlesex and the South East.
How will we spend the money raised?
Like other clubs in search of funds, it's the training and welfare of our players that comes first. We will use these funds primarily for Coaching, Physio and Medical treatment as well as player transport costs and paying for the required safety measures for a safe return to rugby from COVID-19 for all club players, coaches, staff, volunteers, members and supporters.
Additionally, we will be using these funds to give the club a stable financial base to support the club over the next 3-4 years.
