- **Who are we?**
We are Belper United U7, a dedicated grassroots football team comprising enthusiastic 6-year-olds and a group of committed volunteer coaches. Our team has recently enjoyed a significant victory in a local tournament, showcasing the talent and potential of our young players. Coaching and nurturing these future stars is a rewarding experience, and we strive to provide them with the best support possible.
**Why are we crowdfunding?**
As winter approaches, we need to raise £500 to purchase essential winter clothing for our players and coaches. Our team is thriving, but the colder weather poses a challenge. We want to ensure that our young athletes stay warm and motivated during their training sessions and that our volunteer coaches can continue to support them effectively. This crowdfunding effort is crucial to maintaining our high standards and inclusivity, allowing every child to participate fully regardless of the weather.
**How we’ll spend the money raised**
The funds raised will be used to buy winter training gear, including jackets, thermal wear, and gloves for our young players and coaches. This essential clothing will help keep everyone warm, comfortable, and focused during training, ensuring a positive and productive experience throughout the winter months.
**Community impact**
Our team plays a vital role in the local community, promoting physical activity, teamwork, and inclusivity. By ensuring our players and coaches are well-equipped, we reinforce our commitment to supporting young athletes and fostering a sense of community spirit. Our facilities are also used for other local events, benefiting a wider audience beyond just our team.
