Kilgetty AFC need to prepare the ground, buy and transport, new storage facilities, buy equipment and make improvements to pitches & grounds
by Kilgetty Association Football Club in Kilgetty, Pembrokeshire, United Kingdom
On the 19th May 2022 we'd raised £1,442 with 27 supporters in 55 days. But as every pound matters, we're continuing to collect donations from supporters.
We will use donations and sponsorship fees paid here for the maintenance and upkeep of the football club, including pitch, and drainage. Also to buy football and ground maintenance equipment.
OUR FUNDING NEEDS:
Kilgetty AFC, like all grassroots football clubs, relies on local sponsorship and fundraising to function.
Over the years our container has deteriorated to the point of it being beyond repair and is unfit for use. We need at least one or two containers to replace it and would like a further container for use as an office area.
If we exceed our target, further funds are always needed for pitch upkeep and drainage improvements, various football and pitch equipment and work, including planting trees.
Any general donations, sponsorship donations for our teams and events will be very gratefully appreciated and we thank you for your valuable support.
(Pleae note: the initial target has been reduced from £3,000 to £1,000 as initial response has been slow so it more realistic. If the 2 donors who donated before the target reduction would like a refund please contact us. Thanks)
ABOUT OUR CLUB:
Kilgetty AFC was established in 1924 almost a century ago. The growing football club has over 240 members and are delighted to have recently been awarded FAW Trust Platinum Accreditation for the 3rd year in a row.
Kilgetty AFC First and Second teams consist of over 50 Senior players, with Lukas Gamble, Robert Beynon, Christian Philips, Duane Rossiter, Dean Rossiter, Adam Morgan, James North, and Jamie Bessant assisting with coaching. The Seniors are sponsored by Cleddu Financial Services and Beyond The White Line, former player James Chiffi’s company, promoting mental health in sport.
Junior football is a big part of Kilgetty AFC and sponsorship is vital, with Under 15s sponsored by Begelly Arms, Under 12s sponsored by Puffin Cottage Holidays. The Under 16s and Under 14s are currently looking for sponsors. Kilgetty Minis are: Under 11s, sponsored by BKD Detailing & Valeting and Under 10s Sponsored by Mobility Shop. Kilgetty Under 8s are now training too.
We now have over 70 girls registered in our Under 8s, 10s and 12s girls for Kilgetty AFC, sponsored by New York Welsh, whose founding member is former Greenhill pupil, Ty Francis, MBE.
The club depends on volunteers and local sponsors for our teams, club football events and general running costs of the football club, to maintain its Platinum standard.
All Kilgetty AFC teams are managed by registered volunteer coaches, including 4 qualified specialist goalkeeper coaches, 2 B-Licence coaches, with Jamie Bessant currently a candidate on the UEFA A-Licence Course. Kilgetty AFC Chairman is Lukas Gamble; Treasurer, Michael John; Secretary, Sharron Hardwick.
“We’re proud to keep on growing as we work hard to provide sports facilities and quality coaching in the local community. The club wouldn’t run without a strong team of committed people, working together with good local support. If you would like to join us as a player, committee member, sponsor or volunteer please get in touch.” says Lukas Gamble.
