Guildfordians Rugby Football Club

Mission Statement

Guildfordians Rugby is a community focussed rugby club based in Stoke Park within the Borough of Guildford.  We provide a wide variety of rugby playing opportunities and are a club that is fully open to everyone, regardless of their ability, age, ethnicity or gender and sexual orientation.  Through the provision of adult contact rugby (for both men and women), touch rugby, walking rugby and children’s rugby we offer sporting activity for all genders and all ages – our playing members range from four years old to eighty.  In addition to on field volunteering roles there are a wide range of volunteering opportunities behind the scene – accordingly an interest in rugby or sport is not necessary to support Guildfordians Rugby and to enjoy its community.  We have a number of different roles and would be delighted to hear from you.

Voluntary Roles

Accounts Support

We are looking for support running Guildfordians rugby financial affairs.  This can be a full Treasurer role, or any of the following parts of it depending on volunteer preferences.

  • Outgoings - Approving and making payments
  • Receipts - Reconciling receipts, chasing payment of invoices
  • Accounts - Preparing end of year accounts for AGM and filing at Companies House and HMRC
  • Budgeting - Preparing budgets for the year
  • Maintain Xero accounts package

The role can be undertaken remotely, but our preference would be for someone who wants to integrate with the club and attend matches, social events, etc., and thereby benefit from the Guildfordians community.

Some accounts skills would be desirable, as would familiarity with the Xero accounts package but this is very intuitive and likely can be quickly picked up.

Marketing Coordinator

Guildfordians Rugby club already has an active social media and marketing agenda, but we could benefit from having a marketing lead to coordinate and steer our marketing activities.  Roles could include
  • Be a champion for marketing within the club
  • Oversee social media communications to ensure they are happening and are in a consistent style
  • Conceive of and implement (with support if appropriate) marketing ideas
  • Ensure the club has the right marketing collateral, e.g. flyers
  • Website maintenance and updates

The role can be undertaken remotely, but our preference would be for someone who wants to integrate with the club and attend matches, social events, etc., and thereby benefit from the Guildfordians community and also fully appreciate the welcoming ethos at Guildfordians Rugby Club that will be part of the marketing message.

Volunteer Coordinator

Guildfordians Rugby Club depends on its many volunteers whether on the rugby side (e.g. coaching, arranging fixtures, etc) or on the club management side.  Volunteers enjoy Guildfordians' welcoming and social ethos, and certain perks such as preferential treatment in ballots for tickets for international rugby matches.

The club could, however, benefit from having someone to take on a volunteer coordinator role to ensure that all volunteers, particularly new volunteers, are fully welcomed and integrated, and support the club in attracting and retaining volunteers.

The role can be undertaken remotely, but our preference would be for someone who wants to integrate with the club and attend matches, social events, etc., and thereby benefit from the Guildfordians community as well as getting to know the cohort of volunteers.

Fund Raising

Guildfordians Rugby Club has some very valued and engaged sponsors, but always values additonal sponsors and other sources of income.   We seek someone to undertake all, or some, of the following:-

  • Be a liaison point between club and sponsors ensuring both get value from the relationship
  • Seek and procure new sponsors
  • Identify opportunities for grant funding
  • Draft and make submissions for grant funding

The role can be undertaken remotely, but our preference would be for someone who wants to integrate with the club and attend matches, social events, etc., and thereby benefit from the Guildfordians community.

Compliance Support

Guildfordians Rugby Club would welcome to oversee the club's compliance with Companies House, HMRC and like filings.

The role can be undertaken remotely, but our preference would be for someone who wants to integrate with the club and attend matches, social events, etc., and thereby benefit from the Guildfordians community.
