Changing room renovation, new showers
Wilmslow, Cheshire East, United Kingdom
Aim: We're starting a women's team this summer and need to upgrade our changing rooms/showers, which haven't been renovated for over a decade!
Who are we?
We're a local amateur club playing in the Manchester League, and affiliated to the Cheshire FA. We currently have 2 men's teams in the league, and are in the process of setting up a women's team which will play in the Greater Manchester Women's Football League. We're very proud of the history of our club, going back to 1919, and have ambitions of growing our presence in the area and progressing up the league pyramid.
Community impact
We're the only football club in Wilmslow providing open age teams for local men and women to play competitive football. We have a clubhouse with a licensed bar, and allow free entry to our games, giving the opportunity for those who want to come and watch, or volunteer, to join us in a friendly environment.
Why are we crowdfunding?
With the introduction of a new women's team, and in the future hopefully multiple teams for those wanting to play junior (u16) football, we're aiming to raise funds to improve the changing rooms and showers at the clubhouse. Whilst functional, these haven't been renovated in many years, and could do with some TLC! We're looking for some support with this - the lack of football due to Covid prior to this season has impacted our ability to build up an improvements fund.
How we’ll spend the money raised
The money will be used to replace the in situ shower facilities and refit the shower room, along with renovating/redecorating the changing rooms.
