NDYFL - Hollingwood Mini Soccer Centre

Aim

Help us bring the old BRSA Club back into community use, we are a volunteer run not for profit organisation and need your support!

Who are we?

As a volunteer led community organisation, North Derbyshire Youth Football League help promote a healthy lifestyle and team building skills to young people from 6 to 18 years old. Building lifetime friendships and positive core ethics around teamwork and respect.

Community impact

Redeveloping the site into pitches for youth football and bringing the Sports & Social Club back into use as a family club with function rooms and facilities that can be used by the local community will help boost the local facilities and remove a magnet for anti social behaviour. We will be working closely with the HRA (Hollingwood Residents Association) and enabling the continuation of some of their established groups and events. 

Why are we crowdfunding?

We have the knowledge the support and access to the funding bodies to make some of this happen, but this is a huge project and everything comes at a cost.

A small (or large!) crowdfunder contribution will enable us to complete this project quicker and have it available for everyones benefit, from roof repairs to electric, gas, water installation, preparation of the pitches, fencing and car parking area, we need your help to make it happen!

How we’ll spend the money raised

Imagine, a secure facility with green grass and smiling children, parents watching on drinking coffee and perhaps the odd bacon sandwich, promoting a healthy lifestyle and team sports. Also having the opportunity to use the function rooms for birthday parties and family events, social clubs and events. All in place of disused land, derelict buildings and anti social behaviour.
Our double award winning team of volunteers will spend every penny wisely, to give the best facilities for our young footballers to use and to create a new community hub for wider community use.

How our project will be United by Birmingham 2022

With the launch of the 2022 Commonwealth Games and the potential for our future sports stars, we anticipate that young people will be inspired to take up more sporting activities and lead a healthy lifestyle. Our project will create another facility to offer the grassroots starting point for young people to develop their sports, social and team skills to take on their life journey.

There are four simple ways to help us reach our target, and make this project a reality.

1. Make a pledge. Don’t delay if you’re going to support us because momentum is key to our success!

2. Spread the word. Share our project on your social media pages and ask the world to get behind us! The more people we reach, the more support we will get.
