DONATIONS
Donations to the club have a very significant impact on our swimmers and club development. Firstly, many of our swimmers are affected by the ongoing cost-of-living crisis, and donations allow us to support swimmers who face financial barriers to training or competing, either via Financial Aid or subsidising the associated costs. Secondly, donations enable us to improve the quality of our training program by providing additional coaching and investing in new equipment.
For example, donations during the 2023/24 season have allowed us to increase our Financial Aid budget, through which the club has been able to approve multiple applications for support with club subscriptions and training camp. Costs for a swimmer to attend the British University Championships were upwards of £100, and Financial Aid has been critical to ensuring that all swimmers who wished to attend were able to. This season, we have also been able to use donations to the club to hire an assistant coach, who has been working with the Seconds Team to raise the calibre of the training program.
If you would like to get involved, we’d love to have your support. You can make a gift online via the University’s development pages here, or if you’d like to talk to someone about a significant investment in the club, please contact [email protected]. Donors in the US can give tax effectively via the North American website. Please add the club’s name to the comment box on that site.
