Workington RFC: 150 Years & Building Our Future

Aim

For 150 years, the Ellis has been our home. Help transform our tired clubhouse into a modern space our winning teams and community deserves

Project Update: Milestone Reached – Let’s Keep Building

The £5,000 Milestone: Accomplished

We are thrilled to announce that we have reached our initial £5,000 crowdfunding target!

A massive thank you to everyone who contributed. By hitting this goal, we have successfully secured the match-funding criteria required for our £10,000 RFU "Spaces for All" grant. This is a significant victory for the club and ensures that the core renovations for our clubhouse entrance, social area, and accessibility improvements are now firmly underway.

Moving the Goalposts: The Toilet Refurbishment Project

While we have met our initial target, our work is far from finished. The success of this campaign has given us the momentum to tackle the next, most critical phase of our clubhouse transformation: The Toilet Refurbishments.

As noted in our original plans, our current facilities are outdated and no longer reflect the vibrant, inclusive community Workington RFC has become. They are a long-standing pain point for our players, supporters, and visiting teams.

Our New Focus

We are keeping this page open to reach our next milestones:

• Stretch Goal 1 (£10,000): This will allow us to fully refurbish and modernise the men’s toilet facilities.
• Stretch Goal 2 (£30,000): This is our ultimate objective—a complete reconfiguration of all toilet facilities, including significantly increasing ladies’ provision to support the growth of the women’s game, upgrading accessibility, and ensuring a balanced, high-quality layout for everyone.

Why Continue Supporting?

Every pound donated from this point forward is ring-fenced for these vital infrastructure improvements. By contributing now, you are helping us replace "tired and outdated" with "modern and inclusive." You are helping us provide a clubhouse that finally matches the elite standards of our Women’s and Youth teams and the spirit of our community.

The clubhouse is the heart of our club. With your continued support, we can ensure it is a home we can all be proud of as we head toward our 150th anniversary in 2027.

Thank you for your continued belief in Workington RFC. Please keep sharing our page and help us get this final piece of the puzzle over the line.
