Belper United children winter clothing

Aim: Helping our U8 & U9 footballers stay warm this winter with proper kit, so every child can play, rain or frost, without barriers.

Thank you! Here’s your updated and refined crowdfunding page content, now personalized for Belper United, with all your adjustments included:

Who are we?
We are Belper United, a grassroots football club supporting over 140 children aged 5 to 18. Our club is built on community spirit, inclusion, and giving every child the opportunity to grow through football. From our youngest players to our older teens, we promote teamwork, confidence, and fun in a safe, welcoming environment. We’re proud to be a club where all children—regardless of background—can play the game they love.

Why are we crowdfunding?
We’re crowdfunding to provide winter football coats for 10 children in our U8 and U9 teams. Many families are facing financial pressures, and we want to ensure no player is left out in the cold. A sponsor has kindly stepped in to cover most of our winter kit needs this year, but we still need £300 to make sure every child has a warm coat. Your support will help us make that happen.

How we’ll spend the money raised
Thanks to a generous sponsor, most of our winter kit is already funded. We just need to raise £300 to buy 10 warm winter coats for players in our U8 and U9 teams who still need them.
Breakdown:

• 10 x winter football coats @ £30 each = £300
  Every penny raised will go directly to this final piece of kit, helping keep young players warm and included this winter.

Community impact
Belper United plays a key role in our community, bringing together children from all walks of life to learn, play, and grow through sport. Football helps young people build resilience, stay active, and form lasting friendships. By supporting this project, you're helping make sure every child can take part—whatever the weather or their circumstances. Together, we’re building more than players—we’re building community.
