Newport Saracens is a club on the up. With success on the field and a warm welcome in the club house, our player and support base has seen rapid growth. To better accommodate visitors, along with the hope of offering more to those that need it, NSRFC is seeking funding support to improve access and light to the club house and Playing areas. Access is currently across uneven ground, which gets boggy over the winter. We wish to install a firm, flat base and path with better lighting.
Our inshore lifeboat kindly donated 10 years ago by the family of Maureen Easton and named after her, needs a full refurbishment in 2026, to enable the station to be able to continue to provide ongoing search and rescue service support to local Coastguard, Fire and Police services. Newport station was the busiest SARA station in 2024 responding to 50 callouts. We are entirely self funded, with a crew of 15 covering all disciplines including funding raising for ongoing expenses and capex funds.
We are hoping to offer the local community our clubhouse as a community hub this winter to help run family activities, advice and social sessions for the elderly, a meeting space for community groups. The community hub can be used as a warm hub, foodbank provision and indoor safe space for local groups and individuals in need.
Access to mental health support is a growing challenge in Newport and across Wales. Many people from minority communities face extra barriers when seeking help. From language and cultural differences to a lack of trust in mainstream services. At the same time, mental health services are under pressure, with workforce shortages and a lack of culturally competent practitioners. The Community Mental Health Support Bank (CMHSB) aims to address both issues simultaneously.
Our project aims to make pantomime accessible to everyone by removing financial barriers, especially at Christmas time when many families face extra financial pressures. By funding free tickets for individuals and families who might otherwise be unable to attend, we will ensure more people across our community can share in the joy, laughter, and festive spirit of live theatre.
Create a community of volunteers to support the varied City wide events and programmes of Newport Live. These would include the large cultural and artistic events and the sporting events that take place within Newport each year. A second volunteering opportunity would see Volunteers being deployed to support Sporting and physical activity programmes within the Leisure facilities.
