Fundraising
Fees only get us part of the way
RAQ is a non-profit run by a volunteer board. Membership fees cover some of what it costs to keep a team in the water — fundraising covers the rest, and it is what keeps the club affordable for every family.
Four ways to help
Donate
Any amount, by card or Apple Pay, through our Givebutter page. You get a receipt straight away.

Ask your employer to match
Many companies match charitable giving pound for pound. It costs you nothing and can double what reaches the club.

Shop the team store
Suits, caps and club kit. Buying through our store instead of elsewhere sends a share back to RAQ.

Sponsor as a business
Local businesses keep our lanes booked and our meets running, and get their name in front of every family in the club.

Where it goes
Pool time at Shamel Park and Sippy Woodhead, meet entry and travel, equipment, and scholarships so that cost never decides who gets to swim.
