Double Your Impact for Girls’ Rugby

Bucks Girls Rugby Charity (BGRC) has been selected for Heart of Bucks’ Give Local 2026 campaign. From Friday 16 October to Sunday 22 November 2026, every £1 donated online through our Give Local page is matched £1 for £1 by Heart of Bucks, up to £5,000 (including Gift Aid).

Donors can give to BGRC or to an eligible Bucks club or school. BGRC passes every pound nominated for a club or school on to them and adds a 50% bonus (up to £500 per club, on a maximum of £5,000 raised overall), funded from the Heart of Bucks match. Raise £500 for your club and it receives £750.

The club and school offer

1 Give online. Donate through BGRC’s Give Local page between 16 October and 22 November 2026. Heart of Bucks doubles every £1, up to £5,000 including Gift Aid. Only online donations through the page are matched.

2 Choose where it goes. When donating online, name the club or school you want to support, and BGRC will support them accordingly.

3 Every nominated pound is passed on. Each club or school that receives at least £100 in nominated donations is paid the full amount it raised.

4 Plus a 50% BGRC bonus. BGRC adds 50% on the first £1,000 each club or school raises – a bonus of up to £500 each. The total bonus pot is £2,500 (50% of the first £5,000 nominated). If the pot is oversubscribed, bonuses go in order of the amount raised, up to the £2,500 maximum.

5 Above the caps. Nominated donations above £1,000 per club, or after the £2,500 match-funded pot is used, are still passed on in full, without the bonus.

6 Who is eligible. Bucks clubs in the Bucks Invitational League and Bucks schools that have signed up with BGRC – see section 7. Funds must support girls’ U10s and U12s club development, or U12–U14 schools development.

7 Everything else supports schools. All funds not nominated, and the remaining 50% of the Heart of Bucks match funding, go directly to BGRC school development projects.

So. if £5,000 is raised, Heart of Bucks adds £5,000 – £10,000 in total. If all £5,000 were nominated for clubs or schools, they would receive £7,500 and £2,500 would stay with BGRC for schools and girls’ programmes. If a club or school raises more than £1,000, we will pass on all funds over £1,000 to it.
