Who are we?
We are Forden United FC. A local grassroots village football club plying their trade in the Mid Wales League. We’re providing a platform for local lads to play football at the highest possible standard.
Why are we crowdfunding?
We’re an ambitious club with aspirations to provide the highest standard of football possible for the players at our club. We currently play in tier 4 but wish to apply for our tier 3 license & aim to hopefully achieve promotion. To gain our tier 3 license we must meet a certain level of accreditation laid out by the FAW to be allowed to advance, we need financial support to enable us to put these facilities in place.
How we’ll spend the money
We’ll be looking to put the infrastructure in place down at Forden Recreational pitch to allow us to progress to the next tier of Mid Wales Football, this includes:
- a stand
- hard standing around the edge of the pitch
- disabled access
- groundworks
Community impact
We currently run a Senior Football side out of Forden allowing for local lads to play competitive football at a good standard for their local side. We’ll be running a reserve team this coming season to allow for more participation opportunities & hopefully in the long term we may be able to branch out into youth & junior football as well. Improvements to the local recreation ground will only benefit the community as well as a facility, allowing for more exercise & sporting opportunities.
