Fund Raising - Hinckley Rugby Club

Why Fund Raise?

Fundraising is an integral part of any rugby club. It enables new projects to be delivered, it enables the club to function on a day to day basis. and it enables rugby participation to be subsidised to help fulfil the raison d'etre of Hinckley RFC. Sometimes difficult decisions have to be made to balance the equlibrium between the three and it is usually the rugby side that will be supported as without rugby there wouldn't be a club!


Where Does It Go?

The club accounts are a good place to see how the club finances are apportioned. However, there are basically 3 main areas - Running the Facility, Rugby and Special Projects. All club-wide fundraising, for example: May Ball, Race Nights, Christmas Raffle etc. all go towards the special projects that look towards the long-term benefit of the club.


How Can We Raise More?

There are many ways to fund raise but it does take hard work and commitment. It could take the guise of writing letters to various trust funds and grant agencies requesting money through to running a chocolate party. The list is endless please visit the Fundraising Directory for ideas.
