Saxilby Sports Hub is a non-profit organisation that was established in May 2024 to raise critical funds for our village sports teams.
The teams we support are football (including men's and children's teams), men's and ladies cricket, bowls, and tennis (both adults and juniors). Members from all four sports clubs sit on the hub's committee and are actively involved in the running of the hub.
In the few short months we have been running, we have already raised over £17,000 through sponsorship and fundraising. Funds raised are then available for distribution throughout the village sports clubs via a grant process. So far, the hub has provided funds for goals and equipment for Saxilby Athletic Football Club, goals for Saxilby U12 Allstars Football Team, equipment for ladies' cricket and junior tennis, and has purchased much needed lawn care equipment to keep the field in good condition. There are also grant applications open for larger projects to improve facilities for both the cricket and tennis clubs, for now and for the future.
Our primary source of income is the bar in the St. Andrews Community Centre (Pavilion) which is run on an entirely voluntary basis. The bar is open every Friday from 3:30pm until 9pm, as well as on extra dates for various events. You may have seen us on the Parish Council's Family Fun Day in August 2024: we saw lots of new faces and it was our busiest and best day yet!
Any and all future events will be advertised throughout the village and on social media.
Please pay us a visit - every penny you spend goes directly back into supporting our local sports teams and our wonderful community.
