    Iʼve raised £4,558 to Keep 162 kids playing football for a newly founded local junior football team.

    Southport, UK.
    Funded on Wednesday, 5th January 2022

    Story

    In just 12 months Southport Athletic JFC has recruited a massive 162 kids, registered to play for the team across 10 age groups (aged 6 to 17).

    Running a football club comes with costs and whilst we try to offset this with subs, sponsorship and kind donations, we want playing for this team to be accessible to all. Any monies raised help to offset some of the costs absorbed by the parents of the players and ensure we’re able to keep this club running!

    Below are just a few examples of what things cost and you can imagine how quickly they add up:

    Pitch hire per team / per season = Up to £224

    Ref fee per game / per team £15

    Indoor winter training all teams = circa £900 a month

    Affiliation and insurance = £400 per season

    Kit per player = £31.50

    Rain jacket per player = £21

    Bag of balls per team = £81

    Match ball per team = £15/£20

    Goals = £200-£500 depending on size

    Cones/poles/bibs per team = £100

    Enough of the costs! Here’s the real challenge…

    I’m looking to raise £4,000 to support Southport Athletic JFC, by riding 1km for every kid on the team.162 kids = 162km, all in one day!! About 100km more than I’ve done before!!

    So please, if you can, support the cause and help me get our club to it’s 2nd birthday!

    Thanks for reading. I’ll keep you posted with updates through the ride, so you can watch me suffer!!

      A massive thank you for all that donated to my fundraising for Southport Athletic JFC. Yesterday I undertook the mammoth 162km ride, none stop, for 5 hours. I can honestly say, sitting on a bike for 5 hours is not as fun as I thought.

      It's been amazing to see such support for the club. The club had recently been forced to buy a storage container costing several thousand pounds due to last season building's access being removed (long story). Therefore it's more important than ever to try and offset that expense with as much fundraising as possible. Please, please, share the page and drum up support for the 162+ kids who play and train with the club.
