Help WFJS build all-weather pitch : Sponsored Walk

Aim

Funding fun fitness for all is our aim! By inspiring children to race and play for a healthy heart, healthy brain and healthy body.

WE HAVE A DREAM! To run wild at lunch and playtimes - no matter what the weather!

WE HAVE A DREAM to play on an all weather pitch at sporting events, to compete against each other and be the best version of ourselves.

WE HAVE A DREAM to have the best facilities to promote wellbeing through fitness and keeping a healthy lifestyle.

How can we achieve our dreams?

In the words of Usain Bolt....Stop waiting for things to happen. Go out and make them happen.

We're all entitled to dream but we need your help to make it happen.

We want to build an all weather pitch on the lower field with access from the playground similar to the example below. The pitch will lead off from the playground and be part of the lower field.

Currently, the field is not used for wet times of the year and becomes boggy and unusable. By building an all weather pitch, this will allow children full access all year round- keeping children fit and active in the winter and summer seasons.

What is the timing of this project?

Stage 1

The ground needs to be made level first and so we need to pay for the underlayer to be levelled off to make the track even and safe.

Stage 2

To build the surface layer of the pitch.

If funds are in place, this can be installed within 2-3months.

How much will it cost?

We have to obtain 3 quotes and look at the best surface for our field as well as the cost. The cost is estimated to be between £32,000-35,000. The sooner we raise the money, the sooner it can be installed. The more money we raise, the more additional facilities we can purchase, such as goal posts etc.

We would like the pitch installed by Summer 2024, if we can raise enough funds.

So how can you help?

By donating any amount, you will help us on our way. If you can fundmatch any of our fundraising sporting events this year, this will all go towards the costs of the track. The PTA events will all contribute towards this dream.

How do I donate?

Just click on the link. Share it with friends or businesses who can help. We will keep a list of all donors and you will then be in the hall of Wallace Fields Fame forever - having made our dreams and track come true.
