As a community, non-profit football club we rely on membership fees and donations to operate and provide activities for the young people of our area.Membership fees cover a lot of the day-to-day things the club has to pay for, but we also need donations for extras like equipment, kits and our hopes of being able to develop our own facilities - be that places to store our gear or eventually somewhere to call a proper home.
Therefore any amounts, big or small, that people can donate through fundraising, sponsorship or simply paying in when they get chance, can make a big difference to young people’s lives and improve the offer we are able to provide of football for all.

What we need to fundraise for
Equipment storage
We will soon need to improve the containers at the three pitches we have access to - St Mary’s Park, Sandgate Road and Pinfold.
The St Mary’s Park container is most in need of attention and can only be replaced with a permanent brick structure, in agreement with the council. Estimates for that range from £10,000 to £20,000. If you can help with this in anyway,
please email us or
contact a committee member. Extra pitch maintenanceWe are constantly seeking to improve and add to our pitch provision. We ideally would like to be able to improve the usability of our Sandgate Road pitches, but this will require a lot of maintenance and work that needs funding.
We are working with our partners Prestwich Heys AFC on this, but will need funds to make the work happen. All teams use our grass pitches at some point in their lives and all use them from April onwards for training. So this is a club-wide appeal.
A home of our own
This would be the dream. We are constantly investigating ways of making this happen. Whichever way it does happen, it will need funding from ourselves. There is no sugar daddy/mummy going to miraculously gift us a clubhouse and astroturf pitches of our own. If anyone wishes to help with this,
please email us or
contact a committee member.
