Keep Our Club Safe - Queensmen Youth FC

Queensmen Youth FC

Some truly awful news for the club to wake up to this morning.

When heading down to Lawrence Park this morning to open up the pitches ready for a weekend of CHILDRENS football this is what we find!

Someone has broken in and stolen all of our Machinery and broken some of our BRAND NEW fencing

As many know we are a new club made up of volunteers who are working desperately to regenerate a football ground in the heart of our town.

As part of this we have raised sponsorships, applied for grants and been helped by many wonderful parents and businesses within the club.

This recent blow however has shown us that, whilst we should really just be focused on getting the pitches and facilities right for the children to play, we actually need to stop and look to repair the unnecessary damage and raise our levels of security so that we can’t be targeted again. We also need to replace everything we had, we can’t run football matches without it and whilst insured, the true value is rarely covered

Sadly we have zero funds to do this, every penny is allocated to the work we have already committed to be done for the club and we are already fundraising for everything that needs doing as it is.

This is why we need you Whether you are part of our local community, whether you are a parent, grandparent, relative or friend of a child who plays for us, if you are a stranger who would be gutted if this happened to your club, or you are a business or person who just loves grassroots football, please please give if you possibly can.

We pledge that every penny raised will be used to make our club a safe and wonderful place for the many children that play for it. Including alarms, security shutters and replacement of all the equipment we have lost.

We are a true family club and we are all truly devastated for this to have happened.

It’s not even just about the loss and inconvenience it’s the emotion that goes with it.

We will not however be defeated by this, we take 2 steps forward and 1 step back, we will come out stronger, thanks to your support.
