Pitch Together Forums

We're hosting some informal on-line drop-in sessions for anyone interested in finding out more about the Pitch Together Fund. Whether you have a project in mind or just want to learn more about how the fund works, come along and chat with us.

We won't be going into the detail of individual projects on the day, but we're happy to answer any questions you have about the fund and can arrange follow-up conversations where appropriate.

If you’re not sure who is best to contact, either get in touch with your Club Development Manager or the Clubs Team at England Hockey: clubs@englandhockey.co.uk or call 01628 897500. 

Several clubs will have the opportunity to work more closely with their Club Development Manager to shape the future development of their club. 

Following a process of assessment and analysis, clubs will be identified which have a strong focus around future potential and commitment in either:  

• Junior Growth
• Increasing Diversity & Inclusion 

Please contact your Club Development Manager for more information. 

We recognise that every club is different and often you need something a little more bespoke to fit your needs, which is why we offer more tailored support through our England Hockey Coaching* and Talent* offerings. 

In addition, Buddle from Sport England are also able to tailor their workshops to offer a bespoke session which fits more specifically with the needs of your club.  

* Please note, there will be a fee chargeable for these services.
