A huge thank you to everyone who took the time to complete our recent Finchley Future 50 Survey. Your feedback is helping shape the next chapter of Finchley RFC as we look ahead to the next five years and beyond.

The survey was designed to understand members’ views on improving our facilities, growing participation, strengthening our community impact and ensuring the long-term sustainability of the Club. While 77 responses were received, the feedback provided valuable insight into what matters most to our members.

Key Headlines

Investment Matters
An overwhelming 95% of respondents said investment in the Club’s future is important, with strong support for the overall direction of the proposed development plans.

Clear Priorities Emerging
The projects receiving the strongest support were:
• Improving Glebelands drainage
• Enhanced changing facilities
• Development of a 4G pitch

These initiatives were consistently highlighted as having the greatest potential impact on playing experience and participation.

A Busy Club That Wants More
More than 80% of respondents use the Club at least weekly during the season, and over three-quarters said they would use the Club even more if facilities were improved. Better training facilities, changing rooms and social spaces featured strongly in member comments.

Community at the Heart of Finchley
An impressive 82% of respondents support expanding the Club’s role within the wider community, reinforcing Finchley’s position as more than just a rugby club. Members clearly see value in making our facilities and activities accessible to a broader audience.

Members Want to Help
One of the most encouraging findings was that 45% of respondents offered to support the Club further, whether through volunteering, coaching, sponsorship, professional expertise or fundraising. This demonstrates the strength of the Finchley community and the willingness of members to contribute to the Club’s future success.

What Happens Next?
The Club Committee is now reviewing the survey findings in detail and considering how they can inform our future and investment priorities. Alongside the quantitative results, members provided a wealth of ideas, suggestions and constructive feedback that will help shape the next phase of the Finchley Future 50 programme.

As we continue to develop our vision for Finchley RFC, there will be further opportunities for members to contribute their views and help build a stronger, more sustainable club for future generations.

Thank you once again for supporting Finchley RFC and helping to shape our future.

One Club. One Community. One Future.
