Yr Hendy RFC Veo Project

Who are we?

Hi there, Yr Hendy RFC are an established Division One West club offering young people and adults from the local community personal, social and playing development opportunities.

Why are we crowdfunding?

We are trying to raise money to invest in an innovative camera that will have a range of benefits to all of our junior and senior teams in terms of engaging players and helping us to help them develop more effectively.

Having this camera will help us provide a massively increased number of learning opportunities for our players, and a much more rounded and enriched rugby experience.

It's been a struggle following the COVID pandemic to engage with the numbers of young people and adults that we had prior, and being able to offer new and exciting experiences for our players would be a major bonus and will hopefully drive new engagement and participation within our community. 

It will also help us accommodate new volunteers who will develop new technological skills. This will help modernise the kind of services and opportunities we can offer to local people in our community hub.

How we’ll spend the money raised

We will use money raised to purchase a camera and the accessories required to be able to record games. We will also subscribe to  a service which provides analysis and objective feedback to the players, which will help raise player engagement and make coaching and player retention more efficient.

Community impact

We are proud that Yr Hendy RFC is extremely active in our community. We are proud to support and foster development of young people in our community.

In addition to a number of our own teams playing out of Hendy, we have supported Llanelli Schoolboys under 15's using the club as a playing base this season and the Urdd have held activity camps with us as well.

We have also hosted a large number of events throughout the year from the local primary school's Christmas party, a pop up market, created opportunities for community yoga as well as lots of dinners, parties and general social occasions.
