The Friends of Bourne are raising funds to purchase the following equipment:
> Rugby post protectors.
> Rugby rucking shield.
> Rugby tackle bags.
> Protective equipment such as mouth guards.
Total: 1,800
This equipment will allow the children to start playing games and participate in local matches with other schools and within the community.
Who needs the equipment
The equipment will be used by all 795 children aged between 11 - 16 years old at Bourne Community College, Southbourne, Sussex.
Why do you need the equipment
The school do not have the equipment to allow the children to play. The existing post protectors have now fallen apart and cannot be used, this means that the children cannot play due to safety reasons. The tackle bags and shields will be used for the younger children to reduce contact with other players.
Why do you not have funding for these items
The school has a very limited budget and therefore cannot purchase these items.
The 2019 high profile “Worthless” campaign by the West Sussex Head Teachers has highlighted the limited budget that schools are receiving. Whilst not affecting the day to day running of the college, they have limited financial aid reducing the ability to provide modern technology and equipment for the children.
