Who are we?
We are Askern Miners U14s Football team.
Why are we asking for help
As like all other grassroot football teams, we are run by volunteers and have to raise funds for equipment,kits etc that the team needs.
Sometimes this can become hard when something is needed at a great cost. Especially with the cost of living crisis.
How we’ll spend the money raised
The money raised will go towards buying some much needed flood lights for our current pitch which is on a field with no lighting around.
The kids are unable to train on an evening now the dark nights are drawing in.
Depending on the amount raised we would also like to get the boys warm coats for game days when there sat on the subs bench.
Community impact
The boys are all from the local area.
They are a cracking set of lads who win,lose or draw always have a smile on their faces.
Week in week out they train learning new skills and improving their fitness.
The manager works long hour shifts but never fails to turn up each week to train and manage the boys. His commitment to the boys is above and beyond.
Sadly there isn’t much for teenagers to do in our area.
Having flood lights would make a massive impact on these kids. It mean they will still be able to train during the week after school finishes.
This keeps them off the streets/gaming and being a nuisance to the community whilst also keeping them fit and healthy and staying out of trouble.
