**Our Project**
We’re raising funds to install barrier fencing around the football pitches at Cwmbwrla Park, home to Plough Colts Football Club. These pitches are vital for over 300 people, from junior players to senior teams and our mental health team. The park also supports local schools for sports days and other activities. Your donation will help protect the pitches from recurring vandalism and ensure they continue to serve our community.
**Who Are We?**
Plough Colts Football Club is a family-friendly, community-based club in Swansea. We have over 300 people involved across our junior, senior, and mental health teams. Our volunteers give their time and passion to ensure the club thrives, and our teams benefit from a supportive environment both on and off the pitch. The club is a lifeline for many, fostering a sense of community, promoting well-being, and bringing people together.
**Why Are We Crowdfunding?**
Unfortunately, our football pitches at Cwmbwrla Park have been repeatedly vandalised by quad bikes. This recurring damage not only disrupts our games and training but also causes financial strain due to constant repairs. To protect our pitches and ensure they remain playable, we need to install barrier fencing around both fields. We’re crowdfunding to raise the money for these essential barriers so our club, and the wider community, can continue to use the park without fear of further damage. The impact of rising costs due to the cost of living crisis has made it even harder to fund these improvements, so we need your help to secure our future.
**How We’ll Spend the Money Raised**
All the funds raised will go directly towards the installation of secure barrier fencing around the two football pitches at Cwmbwrla Park. This will help prevent future vandalism and protect the fields for our teams and the local community to enjoy. Here’s a breakdown of how the funds will be used:
- Purchase and installation of barrier fencing
- Site preparation and labour
- Any additional protective measures to secure the park
**Community Impact**
Cwmbwrla Park and Plough Colts Football Club are at the heart of our community. Our pitches are used not just by our football teams but also by local schools for sports days and events, making it a valuable space for the whole area. By protecting these pitches, we’re safeguarding a vital hub for sport, well-being, and social interaction in our community. The park gives people of all ages a place to play, connect, and thrive, from our youngest players to those relying on our mental health team for support.
