As a community-oriented club at the heart of Coventry we want to bridge the Covid-19 crisis and support local businesses who supply the club

On the 11th June 2020 we'd raised £34,491 with 293 supporters in 56 days. But as every pound matters, we're continuing to collect donations from supporters.
Coventry Rugby has launched a crowdfunding campaign to help the club bridge the financial chasm caused by the Coronavirus pandemic and honour its payments to local companies and suppliers.
The club has been on a steep upward trajectory over the past four years, bringing full-time professional Championship rugby back to Coventry city centre, taking the positive message of rugby and sport into local schools and community groups, expanding its charitable Foundation to grow wheelchair rugby and give disadvantaged youngsters the opportunity to shine, and – thanks to the installation of a new pitch at Butts Park Arena – give junior clubs of many sports the opportunity to play on a top class surface for the first time.
Just as importantly, the club works with a variety of local companies and suppliers throughout the week and on match days, from catering to printing, match day security to medical provision, and everything in between.
This network is also under threat, with no end in sight to the current pandemic and no cashflow following the cancellation of all rugby union, rugby league, football and other sports.
This is why the crowdfunding campaign has been launched, with a range of rewards and offers available to people who donate, from discounted match tickets and replica shirts all the way up to opportunities for clubs to join the Coventry squad for pre-season training.
And for every £100 raised we will donate a match ticket to the Coventry and Warwickshire NHS staff who are working above and beyond the call of duty at this time.
We ask project owners to honour their rewards wherever possible but please note that all pledges are donations and there is no guarantee that you will receive any rewards from the project owner. Please see Crowdfunder's Terms of Use for more information regarding rewards for pledges.
