Reviewing responses from the Club Survey, Volleyball England have identified common themes with financial planning high on clubs' priorities.  

Volleyball England’s partnership with Buddle (formerly Club Matters) offers a range of tools and support to help clubs with their finances.  Managing your money is an essential part of good club management and is vital to running a sustainable sports club and Buddle provide guidance on hardship funds, emergency financial planning, and sponsorship opportunities which offer affiliated clubs support ahead to the 2024/25 season.   

As part of this Volleyball England and Buddle are working towards organising more bespoke online workshops throughout the new season which will be announced in due course.  

• Volleyball England’s Club Hub is also available to all affiliated clubs. It offers a range of support, documents and guidance to help develop clubs and support those who want to push the sport further.
