Every year, our volunteers generate £60,000 plus to plug the gap between membership income and the cost of running the club.
In 2023/24, our most recently published accounts, it cost £494,648 to provide football for the 1,350 boys and girls who play football at Raiders. So, on average around £366 per playing member. Our membership rates range from £160 to £295 per year which meant that we raised £345,336 from memberships fees.
That leaves a gap in income which we fill through our fundraising and sponsorship activities. In 2023-24, we plugged the funding gap by raising:
- £14,999 through Giftaid
- £25,085 through sponsorship
- £8,730 from events and fundraising activities
- £17,347 from the Raiders Tournament and the Presentation events.
We always welcome more donations and sponsorship to close the gap still further
