🏐 Giving Back

At Hitchin Netball Club, we believe in teamwork, kindness and making a difference — both on and off the court.

Through our Giving Back projects, we support players locally and help communities around the world access the same opportunities to play, learn and grow.

Hitchin Netball Jets Child Sponsorship Project

Helping young players learn that teamwork can make a difference —

on court and around the world.

At Hitchin Netball Club, we believe netball is about more than just what happens on court.

Our Hitchin Netball Jets (Year 3) are proudly sponsoring a child through Plan International UK, a global charity that works to ensure children around the world can access education, healthcare, and equal opportunities.

Through this project, our youngest players are learning what it means to be part of a wider global community. As a team, they receive updates, drawings, and letters from their sponsored friend, helping them understand life beyond their own experience and encouraging empathy, kindness, and curiosity about the world.

The sponsorship is a team experience. Updates are enjoyed together at training, and players may take part in group messages if they wish, reinforcing teamwork, inclusion, and shared responsibility.

This project reflects our commitment to developing confident, compassionate young people — not just strong netball players. By connecting sport with social responsibility, we hope to inspire our Jets to celebrate teamwork both on and off the court.

We are proud to support Plan International UK and to play a small part in helping children build brighter futures.

Why We Need Your Support

Hitchin Netball Club is more than a team — we’re a welcoming community where players of all ages build confidence, form lasting friendships, and develop skills both on and off the court.

We’re committed to making sure cost is never a barrier. The club supports players who might not otherwise be able to take part, so everyone has the opportunity to belong.

That’s why every penny raised through easyfundraising goes beyond our club, helping young people overseas access kit, equipment, and opportunities to play netball where they otherwise wouldn’t.

Thanks to your support, we’ve raised £827.06 through easyfundraising — all of it going directly to projects that bring netball to communities beyond Hitchin.

Your support isn’t just fundraising. It’s giving young players the chance to learn, play, and thrive, while spreading the joy, teamwork, and opportunities of netball around the world.

Shop, score, and share the game we love!
