BHFC ground improvements project

Aim

Your support can help us bring our club back to life, help us fund the repairs we cant afford and make it a safe place again for our players

Who are we?

The club was established in the 1890s as St Peters Church. They were later named Bardon Hill Granite and then Bardon Hill Sports. After playing in local leagues around Coalville, the club moved up to the Leicester & District League and the North Leicestershire League. In 1994 they joined Division One of the Leicestershire Senior League. After finishing as Division One runners-up in 2005–06 the club were promoted to the Premier Division.

In 2008 Bardon Hill Sports were founder members of the East Midlands Counties League. They were renamed Bardon Hill in 2010. The club won both the Leicestershire and Rutland Senior Cup and the East Midlands Counties League in 2014–15, earning promotion to the Premier Division of the Midland League. However, their first season in the Midland League ended in relegation to the Premier Division of the Leicestershire Senior League.

Despite finishing as runners-up in the Premier Division in 2017–18, Bardon Hill withdrew from the league at the end of the season due to a lack of personnel to run the club. The club continued to run its youth section, and relaunched its men's team for the 2024–25 season

Why are we crowdfunding?

Over the years we have suffered from lack of funds and vandalism at the ground, leaving us unable to make much needed repairs to our facilities.
Despite the hard work of parents and volunteers, this wasn't enough and bad luck kept coming in droves.
With the help of Aggregate industries, some great local businesses and the football foundation, we are on the way to getting the ground back to its former glory, but we still need help.
Any amount you can donate will go towards providing much needed repair and equipment to our facilities and players, enabling us to become stronger and more stable, ensuring Bardon Hill FC remain for many more years to come.

How we’ll spend the money raised

Your support will help furnish our new changing room facility, buy essential line marking equipment for our pitches, repair and renovate our club house, repair perimeter fencing around our pitches, buy equipment to help keep those sideline areas cut and tidy and importantly, help us buy equipment to help keep our ground secure.

Community impact

From under 9s to men's teams, our club provides a safe and affordable environment for players to come and enjoy a sport they love
