Corby Dodgeball Club CIC secures funding to deliver girls programme
Corby Dodgeball Club CIC is delighted to announce that it has been awarded funding through the Sported Community Grants Programme, made possible thanks to the players of People’s Postcode Lottery.
This investment will support the development and delivery of the club’s new Girls Dodgeball Empowerment Programme, a targeted initiative designed to address local need, promote social inclusion, and strengthen communities in underserved areas.
The programme will create accessible opportunities for girls to participate in dodgeball, build confidence, develop leadership skills, and experience the benefits of belonging to a supportive team environment. By removing barriers to participation, the initiative aims to empower young people who are often underrepresented in sport.
Carl, Director of Corby Dodgeball Club CIC, said: “This funding represents a significant step forward for our community. It enables us to create meaningful opportunities for girls to grow, connect, and thrive through sport. We’re incredibly grateful to Sported and the players of People’s Postcode Lottery for believing in the impact grassroots organisations can make.”
The Girls Dodgeball Empowerment Programme will launch in 2026 and will include:
- Inclusive training sessions designed specifically for girls
- Leadership and confidence‑building workshops
- Community outreach in underserved areas
- Pathways for continued participation and progression
The programme is slated to begin in February 2026, with more details regarding session times and locations to be released on the club’s official social media channel (Facebook Corby Dodgeball Club).
Corby Dodgeball Club CIC continues to champion accessible, community‑driven sport and is committed to creating safe, empowering spaces for young people across the region.
