Sponsor the Club

Roller hockey is an indoor sport. No mud, no rain, no freezing your toes off on a sports field in the depths of winter. Sounds too good to be true? It almost is. Played indoors, roller hockey requires a full sports hall, sized to fit at least four badminton courts. That means venue hire for training and tournaments is expensive — LRHC spends over £30,000 a year on hall hire, and we receive no funding to cover these costs. That means we rely on membership fees, member fundraising and sponsorship to keep our club running.

On top of hall hire, roller hockey equipment is expensive. We're happy to loan kit to our newest members when they begin their journey with LRHC, but buying new skates, sticks and pads is always a blow to a parent's bank balance. So we fundraise everywhere we can — at every home tournament, with raffles, games and the sale of food and drink where allowed; through sweepstakes and EasyFundraising; and through members who take on personal sponsorship challenges. Most recently, Coen and his dad took part in the Three Peaks Challenge and raised approximately £500 for LRHC.

But we can't keep growing and delivering the most accessible, high-quality training without outside help. We're looking for sponsors who want to fund training or equipment, sponsor a Premier League home game, a team throughout their season, or our female players as they embark on their first experiences of single-sex hockey. If you or your business are interested in supporting young, dedicated local children in their development, and in keeping our family-run club thriving in a difficult financial climate, please get in touch to discuss sponsorship options. No amount is too small, and all enquiries are gratefully received.
