Who are we?
We are Glascoed FC, a club formed in the summer of 2024, with players and coaches volunteering from the Newport and Cwmbran area, playing its first season in the Candour Talent Gwent Central League Division Two.
"Glascoed" translates from Welsh to English as "Green Wood," symbolizing a lush, natural field surrounded by a boundary of trees – a fitting metaphor for the pitch where our footballers bring the game to life.
Glascoed FC is a place where players, coaches, volunteers, supporters and the community all come together to create the energy needed to shape our future generations. This is one of our purposes.
Why are we crowdfunding?
Glascoed FC's club ambition starts with our home pitch - which will be located at The Glascoed Pub. There is a project ongoing with progress being made on the new pitch, training pitches and 5 a side pitches being developed with changing rooms which will aid player development accelerating better than ever through the hard work and dedication from the coaching staff and members of the committee.
How we’ll spend the money raised
WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP...
As soon as possible, we wish to purchase a new Veo 3 camera and the equipment necessary to record our football matches for highlights & analysis. We need some help in raising the funds needed to make this dream a reality! The club will look to raise funds externally but we need £1700 to complete the initial purchases.
The upgrades will mean that we are able to show our community highlights of our training program, football matches and to further analyse our players that will be needed to support future promotions for the senior team but this project will mean much more than that for our club.
The camera will be a huge milestone for the club and a testament to all those who have supported us, the camera is not just progress, it represents support, togetherness, our values both as a club and a community.
The project will stand to inspire new players to join and current teams to push for further honours and promotions while building a special relationship with the supportive fans and community every game we play.
Finally, it will help positively shape and mould the next generation of people of Glascoed FC and wider communities. Together, we can achieve great things and share success along the way.
Community impact
The impact that this will have on our football club and the community will be huge as we look to deliver a quality experience for our community for home games at Glascoed.
