Who are we?
I currently coach 5 football teams in Preston Lancashire ranging from low to high level.
I want to provide specialised 1-2-1 or group session football to children who’s parents can’t afford the hefty fees involved with this in order to level up the playing field.
Why are we crowdfunding?
How we’ll spend the money raised
I have been asked by my sons local primary school to run a training session at their school and I also want to be able to offer group sessions and 1-2-1 training to children who wouldn’t be able to afford the Privilege of extra training. I would use the money for some new equipment ie portable nets and balls bibs ect:
and if possible would love to hire out a 4g facility to be able to offer year round training for the under privileged kids to be able to train on all year round. My goal is to be a nine for profit organisation that helps people in the community.
It’s important to be transparent about how you plan to spend the money you raise. Your audience will be more likely to make a pledge if they can see how their donation will help.

Community impact
About 2 years ago I was stabbed by a teenager on a busy town center who got into the wrong crowd. What I want to do is to provide a another option for kids than to be lurking about on streets with gangs because they are bored with nothing to do.
I believe football is a way to keep kids off the street.
