Supporting Our Community: The Reality of Operating Irvine Community Sports Club

Irvine Community Sports Club requires £15,000 per month in operational costs to maintain our facility and continue serving our local community. This substantial monthly expenditure reflects the true cost of providing accessible, high-quality community services.

Our Monthly Operating Costs Include:

• Insurance: £700
• Electricity: £1,200
• Gas: £800
• Water: £600
• Waste Management: £200

These essential utilities represent only a portion of our operational requirements. Additional costs encompass internet services, staffing, cleaning supplies, equipment maintenance, and numerous other expenses necessary to ensure our facility remains safe, welcoming, and accessible to all community members.

Our Community Impact

Each month, our facility serves over 10,000 users, with the majority representing low-income families from areas experiencing high levels of socioeconomic deprivation. We are committed to ensuring that financial circumstances do not prevent community members from accessing vital services and recreational opportunities.

Beyond providing physical facilities, we deliver comprehensive support services to over 1,000 individuals monthly across critical areas including:

• Mental Health Support
• Addiction Recovery Services
• Wellness Programmes
• Employability Assistance
• Skills Development Initiatives

These programmes address fundamental community needs and contribute to building a stronger, more resilient local community that all residents can take pride in.

How You Can Support

We invite you to partner with us in sustaining these vital community services. Contributions starting from as little as £5 per month help ensure that financial barriers do not prevent vulnerable community members from accessing the support and services they require.

Your support directly enables us to continue providing accessible facilities and essential support programmes to those who need them most, strengthening the fabric of our community and creating opportunities for positive change.
