Arthur Wharton Foundation - Building Refurbishment Fund

Much needed funds required for the full refurbishment of the Arthur Wharton Foundation building in Darlington. Key priorities for us are; internal / external repair, plumbing, decoration, accessibility and security.

The Arthur Wharton Foundation was created to raise awareness of Arthur Wharton’s pioneering and trailblazing legacy in football, athletics and other sports. We also promote diversity and fight against racism in sport and beyond, using Arthur's story to inspire, motivate and educate.

Story

The Arthur Wharton Foundation building requires an extensive refurbishment, both inside and out. Literally everything requires work, in some shape or form - to meet the required; health, safety and accessibility standards. Some of the refurbishment has already started, but there is still so much more to be done.

Any contribution would be so gratefully received. Alongside a dedicated bunch of supporters / helpers, the Foundation will access local tradespeople to help us make the foundation building a place local people can be proud of and make it the beating heart of the local community.

A place where we can; inform, educate and inspire.

A place where we can celebrate Arthur Wharton and his remarkable achievements.

A place where we can, "Connect the Present to the Past, for the Future"

It's going to take a lot of; time, money and effort to get the building to what we need it to be. But one thing that's guaranteed, is that those of us supporting the Foundation - will do everything we can to make this vision a reality.
