We're still collecting donations
On the 9th November 2020 we'd raised £210 with 13 supporters in 56 days. But as every pound matters, we're continuing to collect donations from supporters.
To support our players during the uncertain times the COVID-19 pandemic has brought to us individually and as an organisation.

On the 9th November 2020 we'd raised £210 with 13 supporters in 56 days. But as every pound matters, we're continuing to collect donations from supporters.
Why are we fundraising
Thames Valley Cavaliers (TVC) Women's Basketball team is a self-funded team of 12-15 girls, meaning that each player pays to play. There are many expenses included (such as court hire, coach, referees & officials per game, transportation to away games, etc) which have been forecasted to total at around £8,000 over the entire season.
The global COVID-19 pandemic has created a very uncertain landscape for millions of UK residents - including our players, meaning we have players on furlough, in school, and not in the safest financial position to afford to play basketball. We value the wellbeing of all of our players and supporters and understand that basketball is a great outlet for the stresses of everyday life, so it would be a great shame that our women lose this outlet due to the stressful and uncertain times we are living in.
