Story
We need your help!
With over 400 members aged 5 to 75, City of Peterborough Hockey Club is one of the largest hockey clubs in the East. Hockey is played by men and women, boys and girls every week – and our aim is to provide a fun, safe and welcoming environment, with the right level of competitive hockey for all.
We’re lucky enough to have our pitch and clubhouse as part of the City of Peterborough Sports Club however we’re now in the position where we need to raise money in preparation for replacing our next pitch and the works that will need to take place alongside it. The whole project is estimated to cost around £500k.
Sport England reports the decline in hockey pitches as 3G facilities have taken over, resulting in a decline in participation across the country. We as a club are managing to buck the trend, recently adding a 5th Women's team to our roster. However, with the additional members comes the increased need to update our facilities.
CoPHC are blessed to have a dedicated family committed to making our club one of the most successful and sustainable clubs in the area and we'd love to welcome you aboard to support us in our mission.
If you're able to support our fundraising mission in the form of a donation we would be incredibly grateful - with such a large total to raise, every penny really does count! We do also have sponsorship opportunities for local businesses. Please get in touch for more details.
