Stanway Pegasus Under 14’s Ladies Football Club

Aim: We are an Under 14’s girls Grassroots football team in Colchester, Essex

Who are we?

We are an Under 14’s girls grassroots Football team in Colchester.

I am  fundraising to try and support their platform to play a team sport and enhance the girls experience. To do this we need kit, training kit and equipment.

The girls have been together for 4 years and the benefits have been huge on and off the pitch. 

Being part of a grassroots football team offers young girls a wide range of mental and physical benefits. Physically, it helps build strength, coordination, and overall fitness, encouraging healthy habits that can last a lifetime. Mentally, football promotes confidence, resilience, and teamwork, offering a sense of belonging and accomplishment. The structured environment supports emotional development by teaching goal-setting, discipline, and how to cope with both success and failure. Regular interaction with teammates also fosters friendships and improves social skills, contributing to a stronger sense of identity and self-esteem during critical formative years.

How we’ll spend the money raised

It’s important to be transparent about how you plan to spend the money you raise. Your audience will be more likely to make a pledge if they can see how their donation will help. Be specific and add a budget breakdown.

Community impact

It’s important to explain the wider impact of your organisation for the whole community, who does it benefit and why? Perhaps your facilities are used for other purposes outside of sport too?
