The children have already raised over £1000 in sponsorship and would be overjoyed if anybody in our local community would like to sponsor them further.

We are one of 17 clubs in country to win the opportunity to attend after winning a Grand Champions Title at Allstar Nationals last May. “We have had 9 local businesses sponsor to help towards training kit , costumes / Poms etc. We have also held multiple events over the last 12 months to help raise money towards flights and accommodation for the team including a Curry event at The Raj where XFactors Nathan Grisdale sang & Super league rugby stars Joe Phiblin & Matty Davis did a live Q&A all free of charge to help raise money. The community have been fantastic in the run up to this trip and we hope as many people can get behind the girls from home as they travel to the states next week.”
