Hailsham Hockey Club are looking to initially raise around £25,000 to contribute towards the resurfacing of its home pitch at Hailsham Community College. This along with funds from the school and other organisations will enable the existing pitch to be resurfaced. This will secure the future of the club and also provide a much valued facility for not only the Hockey Club but also the school and wider community that use it. The hockey club has made the school its home since the original pitch was laid over 20 years ago. The surface is well beyond its intended life and is close to not being playable. Please help us secure the future of hockey in Hailsham by supporting this campaign.

A paper sponsorship form that fulfils this requirement is available below in the documents section however it would be great if you can get your sponsorship via our online platform so we can potentially get match funding too. Here are some events we are taking part in you might want to consider:
> Pier to Pier Sponsored Walk | Sunday 17th March 2024 | Club lead: Michelle Page
A group of club members and supporters will be looking to walk from Hastings Pier to Eastbourne Pier in spring 2024. This walk follows the 15 miles (24 km) of coastline between Hastings and Eastbourne. It is in 3 parts - 2 seafront promenades with a quiet shingle beach in between. We are also planning on doing some litter picking on the way! The club chair has also suggested there is a good pub at the halfway stage. Participants must be adults or accompanied by their parent or guardian if under 16. Sign up below.
