In January we notified you that we would be launching a Crowdfunding Campaign to raise funds for a new gym/recreation space. That day has finally arrived, and our Crowdfunding page is up and running – please see link and QR Code below.

We are particularly keen to expand our indoor space, as inclement weather, particularly during the winter months, creates added pressures and demands on our pitches and hampers our ability to engage with our players and members on a continuous basis.

We see this as a long-term project which is modular in design. This is the first phase of the programme and this Crowdfund Campaign, with support from the Sport NI Olympic Legacy Fund, will pay for Phase-1 of the project. The target funding for Phase-1 is just short of £50,000 but the overall fundraising target to complete the project is between £120,000 and £150,000.

Once we have raised 18% of our Phase-1 target, £8,363.00; the Sport NI Olympic Legacy Fund will pledge to add a further 65% of our Phase-1 target, £30,197.00. We will have a maximum of six weeks to raise the total figure of £46,457.

First we have to create the initial space, housed with the basic fundamentals and we plan to grow and enhance the capabilities of the space over time.

This will be a dedicated club performance and community space, designed to support:

🏋️ Strength & conditioning

🔥 Pre-season training programmes

👟 Fitness classes

🧘 Yoga & Pilates

💪 Injury prevention & rehab sessions

👥 Team-based fitness work

This space will allow us to create a year-round training environment that supports player development at every age.

It’s about creating:

✔ A space for our teams to come together

✔ A hub for player development

✔ A facility the wider community can use for classes and events

✔ A sustainable future for St. Paul’s

All funds raised will go directly towards building materials, construction costs, fixtures and fittings and equipment. This will ensure our players and community members have access to safe, high-quality facilities that support physical health and wellbeing.

In some instances when you pledge to donate you may be given the opportunity to accept a Community Reward. If eligible, you will have to accept the reward, otherwise it will be offered to the next eligible donor.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you in advance for the support you offer on this journey. The financial and physical contributions you have made to the club in the past, provide us with the confidence that you will guarantee that this project can, and will only be a huge success.
