Club Secretary Neil Glasspool has recently launched "Men's Meet & Move": an initiative to tackle the pressing social issues of male isolation and inactivity in the local community. Thanks to your generous support, the Crowdfunder has raised £1.2k in the first two weeks, leaving six weeks to reach the target of £4k. This will then release an extra £4k of match funding from Sport England.

The aim is to host a community group on a fortnightly basis for social activities using the club's facilities and games equipment. This is where we need your help! Monies raised will be used to:

• create a much pleasanter and welcoming environment - replacing the toilet flooring and basins
• provide insulation for our large windows to keep the rooms warm and reduce our carbon footprint
• purchase newer and varied games equipment - foldable pool table, skittles, pickleball set, petanque, etc
• purchase refreshments to always provide these free for our guests
• allow for the group to go to different local experiences for enrichment
• provide some training for the club member hosts, so we can be more empathetic for the issues our guests could bring and allow us to try to signpost support if necessary. Also to bring in expert knowledge if situations arise beyond our capabilities

Please support this worthwhile cause by visiting the Crowdfunder page and pledging your support. Thank you.
