Urmston Hockey Club: Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge

Aim

Support Urmston Hockey Club’s Yorkshire 3 Peaks walk! Raising £700 for a new junior goalie kit & training gear to keep local kids active

We are Urmston Hockey Club, a vibrant, welcoming, and community-focused sports club based in Urmston. We pride ourselves on being a club for everyone, from toddlers picking up a stick for the first time to senior players who have been lagging up and down the pitch for decades!

Our Junior Section is the heartbeat and future of our club. We aim to provide a safe, fun, and inclusive environment where local kids can get active, learn the value of teamwork, make lifelong friends, and develop a passion for field hockey.

Why are we crowdfunding?

To keep our junior section growing, we need the right gear and right now, our youngest players are missing a vital piece of equipment.

We currently have a junior goalkeeper kit for our Under-14s, but it is far too big for our youngest players. When we enter tournaments for our younger age groups, we don't have a smaller, properly-fitting kit to keep them safe. This means they miss out on the incredible experience of playing in goal, and it limits our ability to welcome new, younger members who want to try out the position. A brand-new, smaller junior goalie kit costs £500.

Additionally, our junior section is desperate for updated training equipment, things like target mats, new balls, and training aidsto ensure our coaches can deliver top-quality sessions every single week.

To raise these funds, a group of us are putting our knees and lungs to the test on August 15th by taking on the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge. We will be trekking 24 miles (38.6 km) and climbing over 5,200 feet (1,585m) across Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside, and Ingleborough. Our goal is to conquer all three peaks in under 12 hours!

How you can play your part

There are three simple ways you can help us reach our target and get our juniors the gear they need:

 1. Make a pledge. Don’t delay, momentum is key! Every pound gets us closer to the first peak and keeps our project moving forward.

 2. Spread the word. Share our page on your social media and tell your friends and family. The more people who see this, the quicker we hit our goal!
