Storm Smash through App Member Target
Gateshead Storm have got off to a great start in an exciting new partnership with GiveToLocal.
GiveToLocal are aiming to put £10m a year into community sports clus by bringing communities together.
Their #InspiredToGive campaign will encourage people who can, to support businesses and clubs with purchases and donations to help replace lost income during the difficult times we’ve been having recently.
Storm beat off stiff competition from hundreds of other clubs to be selected as 1 of 5 focus club representing the sport of Rugby League for GiveToLocal.
In becoming a focus club Gateshead Storm have to complete 4 weekly tasks that will potentially transform the future of funding for the club.
Step 1 was to find 326 members to sign up to the App.
Storm smashed through the target in just 5 days and there are now more than 350 people signed up to the app
Club Treasurer Neil Emmerson said “I’ve been blown away by the amount of support that we’ve received this week. Every member in the club has pulled together to help us reach this target. There’s also been a lot of support from past players who’ve sent messages saying that they’re more than happy to help out the club as they have such fond memories from their times there.”
Steps 2 & 3 are about finding donors – if each club member can find 1 person in Step 2 and 1 person in Step 3 who are willing to donate because they believe in what we are here to achieve, recognise the hugely positive role the club plays in the community and that together we’re going to build a community of local businesses who also support the club then Gateshead Storm are in line to receive up to £1000 worth of vouchers. As a result we can give each of those people access to a growing range of offers and discounts as a thank you for their generosity.
If anyone would like to support Gateshead Storm to transform the future of how they are funded then you can sign up to the GiveToLocal App using the following link.

The donations part of the app will become unlocked at 5pm on Monday. You can donate directly to the club. Or, if you would prefer, choose a specific team to donate to.
