Hello, 

A MASSIVE thank you for your support in 2021! Here we go 2022...

A couple of lists for you

2021 Achievements (yes I know overshadowed by Rush closing)

1. New charity Rush Sports Community Trust (RushSCT) is registered

2. Close to £16,500 raised to date (sorry some more updates to be done)

3. A fantastic group of supporters, encouragers and enthusiasts have come together 

2022 To do list - VERY confident about most of these!

• Secure a site - yes I know I keep saying it but there is progress and really do hope to be able to tell you more very soon
• Open charity bank account (then we can claim gift aid and start to talk to funders)
• Have planning permission (or be very close to it)
• Know who will be funding the new park – we expect to need millions
• May be just may be get a build started
• Publish a book of Rush memories
• Hold lots of fundraising events
• Have a Wikipedia entry

So not much! If any of you have ideas or can help please reach out again (even if you have before - I am sending out from my personal email address). We are always looking out for people to set up their own challenges... (more about mine soon)
