Foundation
For the last 7 years The Club has raised £1000s to support local charities and ventures outside of football, however for season 2024-25 we are focusing on our need to repair our pitches.
We all know how wet the summer of 2024 has been, and autumn has given us no rain relief, meaning our 12 pitches are in desperate need of repair.
Our plan is to raise £5,000 to excavate, irrigate, seed, germinate then water 24 goal mouths at the end of this season (May25).
