Ethel Ward Community Sports Court - FINAL PUSH!

Ethel Ward Community Sports Court – Final Push! 💚🖤💜💙


We’ve made huge progress thanks to our amazing community but we’re not over the line yet.


✅ We hit our £25k Crowdfunder target early allowing us to unlock Sport England funding

✅ 201 supporters + 20 local businesses backing us 

✅ Major funding bids submitted 

✅ Trusted contractor ready to go (quote valid until April!)

But… we still need to raise *£37,000* to deliver the project, and one thing the funders look at is the number of individual supporters.


👉 A £2 donation counts. 👉 Your partner’s £2 counts. 👉 Your mum’s / Your Dad's £2 counts. 👉 You can donate anonymously. 👉 And the Crowdfunder stays open AFTER 20 January — donations still help!


Every single supporter strengthens our application to the North Yorkshire Sport York Mayoral Fund and brings us closer to transforming Ethel Ward into a safe, inclusive, multi sport hub for the whole community.


If you can spare £2, it genuinely makes a difference. If you can share this post, it helps even more.
Let’s do this together, Haxby. 💚🖤⚽🏃‍♀️🏐
