Recently we have held a user forum for clubs and organisations who use Greenbank Sports Academy facilities with a spotlight on fundraising. Many of the organisations who use Greenbank Sports Academy facilities have chosen to raise funding for Greenbank Project. This has included cake sales, match day programme donations or even being the official charity for the club.
Below is a spotlight on one of the clubs that has used Greenbank Sports Academy as their home for a number of years:
Liverpool Handball Club was established in 1968 by a group of handball enthusiasts looking to grow the sport in the city. They are a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to promoting handball for fun and fitness in Liverpool.
Today they pride on being an inclusive community club open to all handball enthusiasts in the city. From beginners to experienced players, they welcome new members to join the club and be part of continuing their proud handball heritage.
With dedicated training sessions and competitive match play across junior and senior levels, they help handballers of all ages and abilities develop their skills and fitness while making new friends and having fun. They hold there yearly International Handball tournament each year, with Greenbank being one of two venues used.
This years tournament is the 25th year of holding, taking place on 24th-25th May. Hannah Kempster, Chair of Liverpool Handball Club, shares her excitement: “This year’s LIHT is not just a tournament; it’s a celebration of 25 years of handball legacy. We’re excited to welcome teams and fans from all over to experience the passion, spirit, and thrill of handball in Liverpool.”
