Drumaness Mills - Inclusive Facilities

Aim

We aim to build at least one, and ideally two, accessible toilet blocks at Drumnaess Mills FC to provide safe, inclusive facilities

Who are we?

We are Drumaness Mills Football Club, a proud community club based in Drumaness, County Down. For generations, we’ve provided a welcoming place for people of all ages and abilities to enjoy football — from our youth teams to senior men’s and women’s sides. Our club is built on teamwork, respect, and the belief that sport has the power to bring people together.

Why are we crowdfunding?

We’re raising funds to improve our facilities and make our club more inclusive for everyone. Our current toilets and changing facilities are not suitable for the growing number of youth, female, and disabled players joining the club.

In this phase of our development, we aim to build at least one, and ideally two, accessible toilet blocks at Drumaness Mills FC. These facilities will ensure that every player, supporter, and visitor can feel comfortable, safe, and welcome at our grounds.

Your support will help us continue to grow participation across all age groups and ensure our club remains at the heart of the community for years to come.

How we’ll spend the money raised

Every donation will go directly toward the costs of this essential upgrade.
Here’s how the funds will be used

- Groundworks and installation – preparing the site and ensuring accessibility compliance

- Accessible toilet units – installing modern, safe, and inclusive facilities

- Plumbing and electrical work – ensuring reliable, year-round use

- Finishing and landscaping – creating a clean, welcoming environment for players and visitors

If we exceed our target, additional funds will support ongoing improvements to our training facilities, including lighting and surface upgrades.

Community impact

Drumaness Mills FC is more than a football club — it’s a community hub. Our pitches and clubhouse host local youth programs, charity events, and social activities that bring people together.

By supporting this project, you’re helping to:

- Make football more inclusive for women, girls, and disabled players

- Provide safe, accessible facilities for families and visitors

- Strengthen the club’s role as a positive force in the local community

This project is about opportunity, inclusion, and pride in our community — values we stand by every day.
