Ashbourne Swimming Club
We are a dedicated community-based swimming club, committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for local children and young adults to train, develop, and compete. Our ethos is one of inclusivity, encouragement, and openness, welcoming individuals from all backgrounds and abilities. We help to build the foundations for our swimmers to take on their dreams.
Project Overview
Through our tireless efforts, we offer excellent coaching, mentoring, and a secure environment across our four weekly training session sheld at the local council-run facilities. These sessions not only foster swimming skills but also contribute significantly to the mental, physical, and social well-being of our participants. You can not under estimate how valuable and appreciated our club is to young people and their families.
Why are we crowdfunding?
The escalating costs associated with hiring the pool,maintaining insurances, compensating coaches, and managing the club'sday-to-day operations have placed us in a precarious position. Despite beingpredominantly volunteer-run and relying heavily on member contributions, wefind ourselves struggling to cover these expenses. Our club serves as a vitalanchor for local youth, offering a constructive outlet and promoting healthylifestyles. However, to continue this invaluable work, we urgently require additionalresources. Your support would enable us to procure essential equipment, hire anadditional coach, and develop our own merchandise, not only enhancing ourclub's profile but also generating crucial revenue.

‘If someone had described it to me beforehand, I would have thought it a ‘nice idea’ without having given much thought to how important the sentiment is … With one box, I no longer felt that we were alone dealing with a life-changing situation … It is not a Box of cutlery and tea bags, it is a gesture of compassion and understanding sent without judgement and with no expectation, from fellow members of a club that no one wants to be part of’ - Little Lifts Beneficiary
