As part of our first round of grant applications the third club has now been agreed. Congratulations to Hull Thunder.

This first round saw three clubs apply and all have now been confirmed, this makes 100% of clubs that applied will receive the support to develop a sitting element in their clubs when we come out of knockdown,

The chair of Hull Thunder Wayne Barber told us “This is fantastic news, it seems to have taken so much time and effort to accomplish this so I’m delighted that the Volleyball England Foundation have awarded us the grant.

We have had plans for sometime now in conjunction with Hull and East Riding Volleyball Association to start a Sitting Volleyball Club and now we have been awarded this grant it will mean we can now progress our plans as soon as lockdown and restriction allow.

 We are delighted we will be able to offer the opportunity to play our fantastic sport to even more people in our local community and hopefully we will be able to progress on to representing our community in national competitions in the not too distant future.”

As with many of us Wayne has been self isolating and this has been the pick me up he needed.

Once again congratulations Hull Thunder.
