Who are we?
Shrewsbury Up and Comers Football Club is celebrating it's 50th Birthday this Year. We are currently the biggest Grassroots Football Club in Shropshire with over 45 Teams. We are known as a Junior Football Club but in recent Years we have taken the brave step into Adult Football, to help complete the pathway from Under 8's right through to the Adult game. But the pathway is only complete for the boys at the Club, so we are looking to finish the pathway off for the girls by starting a ladies team either this season.
Why are we crowdfunding?
To help fund a NEW ladies team. Starting any team is extremely expensive, with pitch hire going up and general Club running costs like insurance and league affiliation increasing too, we need help. The money raised will help get the Ladies team up and running.
How we’ll spend the money raised
The money will help provide the Ladies with kit, balls, bibs and give them funds for pitch and training hire.
Community impact
To give girls at the Club and beyond an opportunity to continue playing football after they complete the junior pathway. This in turn helps woman stay fit and makes them part of a social Football family.
