Rustington Otters Training & toilet facilities.
Littlehampton, West Sussex, United Kingdom
Aim: To buy new storage, changing & toilet facilities to support our 20 kids teams.
Rustington Otters FC has been a non-profit children's FC run by local volunteers since 1969. From the Chair & committee to coaches and helpers, they are all giving up their spare time to run the club, coach the children and manage games whilst keeping the children learning and safe. Many hours are put in by every volunteer to make training inclusive, progressive and most importantly… FUN
The club have 20 teams from U6 to U16 consisting of over 250 children, girls and boys.
The club pump all membership money in to pitch rental, equipment, FA & match fees. With very little left for improving facilities and raising funds for the club. We are very lucky to have some kit sponsorship from local companies with some teams getting hand me downs where sponsorship isn't available.
The facilities onsite are old storage containers that are beyond repair, they are used for training and match equipment such as goals, cones, first aid, & flags.
There are no changing & toilet facilities, although we have mixed teams we can not support a girls only team without separate facilities and we have no other income as we can not sell tea and coffees to help bring additional funds in to the club.
To that ends, we would like to replace storage and introduce toilets as a minimum, kitchen facilities would be a ‘very nice to have’ so that we can invest more in to the children at the club.
