Who are we?
We are an amateur rugby team based in the Forest of Dean. We heavily really on volunteers and we are looking to provide our volunteers with some ground maintenance machinery to better look after our grounds and pitches.
Why are we crowdfunding?
We are in desperate need of some ground maintenance machinery to help out when the weather turns bad. We are constantly fighting the elements but sometimes pitch forks and shovels just don't cut it.
All funds received will go towards heavy machinery to help with drainage and maintaining the pitches, and the training area.
Community impact
It is vital to keep the pitches in good order as the club runs 2 teams and also some private functions on the ground. If the club cannot play games at home, they lose revenue which at the moment for our club, in the process of moving into a new club, we desperately need to keep the fixtures going.
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!
2. Spread the word. Share our project on your social media pages and tell the world to get behind us! The more people we reach, the more support we will get.
3. Offer rewards. Get involved if you are a local business by donating things we can offer to our supporters. We will give you a shout out!
4. Fundraise for us. If you want to run your own fundraiser – maybe a sponsored activity or similar – use the 'contact project' button at the top of our page to let us know. Setting up your own page only takes a few minutes and you won’t need any bank details. Just a fun idea!
