COMMUNITY
The community team receive information about and seek out people and organisations in our local community who are in need whether that be man-power, financial assistance or moral support. Over the years the club has assisted many organisations and individuals.
We have partnered with Waitrose Portishead to provide food parcels for local families in need at Christmas.
We provided free First Aid Courses to the Public
We made a donation of £400 to the Portishead Diabetes Support Group
FUNDRAISING
The fundraising team plan and organise events to raise funds to allow us to be able to serve the local community. We offer our services free of charge and to be able to do this requires a steady income.

Club members pay a yearly subscription which covers our administration costs.
We raise money by collecting locally and running events such as:
- Collections at local Supermarkets
