Project LCS Summer Funding Drive - Women's Clubs

Aim

Project LCS is launching a summer fundraising campaign to help support our sports clubs to raise funds to offer subsidised fees to everyone.

Who are we?

Project LCS CIC, based in Luton, Bedfordshire,  is a Community Interest Company established in 2024 with a mission to empower Muslim women through sport, wellbeing, and community engagement.

We provide safe, inclusive, and welcoming spaces where women can participate in physical activity, improve their health, and build confidence. As we are part of the Muslim community, we understand the barriers Muslim women face in accessing sports and fitness opportunities, and we are committed to creating environments where everyone feels comfortable, supported, and able to thrive. 

Our commitment to deliver high quality sessions, through qualified coaches and umpires, where participants can build their skills is paramount to our mission. As we all have experienced unprofessional delivery of sports sessions, we understand this approach only adds to the barriers already faced in our communities. 

Currently, Project LCS delivers regular basketball, netball, and badminton sessions, bringing together women of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds. We are committed to providing these sessions for affordable prices, allowing wider participation from underrepresented communities. 

At Project LCS, we're not just running sports sessions—we're building a stronger, healthier, and more connected community.

Why are we crowdfunding?

We are raising £6,000 to subsidise the cost of our women's weekly badminton, basketball, football and netball sessions, ensuring that Muslim women and other underrepresented groups can continue to access safe, welcoming and affordable opportunities to participate in sport.

How we'll spend the money raised

Primarily, your donations will allow us to pay for the court hire so reducing weekly costs for players, increasing participation and encouraging new players. 

Community impact

We know that Muslim women and other underrepresented groups face additional barriers to participation, including cost, confidence, access to suitable opportunities and concerns about feeling comfortable in mainstream sporting environments. Without affordable and welcoming sessions, many women are excluded from the benefits that sport can provide.

How you can play your part

There are four simple ways to help us reach our target, and make this project a reality.

1. Make a pledge. Don’t delay if you’re going to support us because momentum is key to our success!
