Aim
We are aiming to replace the barriers around our field to make it a safe area to play again
WHO ARE WE
We are a community football club comprising of four senior sides and four junior/mini sides, aged from 5 to 50. Based in the heart of the Garw valley, Bridgend, competing in various leagues. We were formed in 1951, with the junior teams formed in 2002. The senior and junior clubs merged in 2020 in order to take on the asset transfer from Bridgend council, which we are still trying to achieve

Community impact
Our facilities are not just football related. The local primary school often uses it for their sports days and their summer fetes. Families come and relax on Summer days knowing the children are playing in a safe environment. Firework displays are held for the whole community to enjoy. There are band days for everyone to come together. It really is the hub of the whole community

Why are we crowdfunding?
Due to vandalism, storms and poor installation, our barriers around the field have become unsafe and unplayable. Leagues are looking at whether they will allow our home games to continue here. Unfortunately, it is something, as a club, we simply cannot afford. Repairing them is out of the question as so many have been bent and pulled out of the ground. we have been fundraising, but the costs are still out of our reach.
How we’ll spend the money raised
Our aim is to replace the barriers and make the pitch safe and playable and hopefully improve the play area for the community
