Sport England: Active Together has provided £2,500 of match funding
Help support players during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Walton On Thames, England, United Kingdom
Aim
We aim to provide coaching and competitive matches for our players who are financially struggling during the Covid-19 pandemic.
WHO ARE WE:
Walton Casuals Ladies and Girls FC was formed in 2018, and has the only senior female football teams in the Borough of Elmbridge. We offer coaching and matches in competitive leagues throughout London and the Southeast. We have a good base of volunteers who help run coaching and the club rely on player subscriptions and generous donations from sponsors to fund the purchasing of kits, equipment, hiring of pitches and facilities as well as costs for league registrations.
We have recently provided teams for younger players and are looking to grow the participation of female players in the community.
Our football club are finding, like many sports clubs across the country, that many of our supportive families, players and businesses are suffering financially during the Covid-19 pandemic. This has caused the club difficulty in raising the funds from subscriptions and donations from sponsors for next season.
Without the subscriptions and donations it is going to be very difficult to offer our existing and new players the coaching and matches for when the new season starts.
We would like to offer players a helping hand to either subsidise subscriptions or offer free football for next season and help the club keep up the good work its volunteers have created over the last two years. Whilst we all work through the Covid-19 pandemic your support will offer the existing and new players a certainty of playing football next season.
Your support will allow the club to book training facilities and match day pitches, purchase kit and equipment for the start of the new season.
