On 24th November, we’re taking on an incredible 12-hour rugby ball challenge at the University — the ball will be moving NON-STOP for 12 hours straight!

We’re raising money to support our team’s growth and development, and to help strengthen the future of **women’s rugby**, both at Derby and beyond. This is one of many events will be completing through out the year!

Why Women’s Rugby Matters

Women’s rugby is one of the fastest-growing sports in the world, but it still receives far less funding and visibility than the men’s game. By supporting teams like ours, you’re helping:

* Create **equal opportunities** for female athletes

* Promote **representation and inclusivity** in sport

* Inspire **younger girls** to get involved and stay active

* Build a stronger, more sustainable future for women’s rugby

Your support doesn’t just help one team — it helps push the whole sport forward.

What We’re Raising Money For:

Funds raised will directly support our team in several key areas:

New kit-for training and match preparation

Coaching and professional development- so we can continue improving ( allowing our players to get involved in extra supporting qualifications)

New after-match tops - to build unity and identity

* ️ **Extra training time and facility costs** to improve training quality

Every donation, big or small, makes a huge impact.

If you’re unable to donate, a simple **share** can help us reach more people! ❤️
