Kit For All Campaign

Worksop Ladies is a small ladies hockey club based in the North of England. One of the greatest things about this club is its family-orientated, inclusive ethos.
My name is Joanne, and I am the Social Media Secretary for the club. I'd like to tell you a little about our club and why we need your help...
Founded in 1972, the club has gone through a number of transistions, but have always kept the same attitude; to be at the heart of the local community and to give an outlet to people who want to be part of something and get active.
Our club has 70 members in total and clubs of similar size will often charge high annual fees in order to provide kit and other facilities. We have, for many years, kept our annual fees to a minimum in order to allow people less financially prosperous to participate.
The flip-side of this is that each member has to buy their own kit. We've always played in white with a burgundy trim and over the years there have been a few different designs, mostly due to manufacturers ending the line.
This has led to to our club having a mish-mash of almost, but not quite, similar shirts across our four teams, due to some members not being able to update their shirt. From a team point of view, we don't all look the same and for the individuals, they can feel a little out of place. We don't like anyone feeling that way.
We'd love it if the whole club were to have the same kit, as well as being able to provide it for them. We know we could increase the annual fees but this could lead to some members struggling to afford to pay for something that gives them what's possibly their only outlet.
We're just about at the end of the current season, and we'd ideally like to get the funding in place so we could order a new kit for next season.
If you could spare a little something to help us along, we'd be ever so grateful.
If you're a business who would like to get involved, then we would consider using you as a sponsor for a contribution of £1,000 or more.
Thank you all for reading, and if you could share this in any way that would be a big help.
