Light up Lingfield Youth FC

Hi all,

I’m Paul, Chairman of Lingfield Youth F.C. Based in Lingfield, Surrey, that currently has nearly 200 youth members in the club all from the local area to Lingfield. We are a complete, non for profit grassroots football organisation providing team based developmental and competitive league football to age groups starting from 5 to 16 (sometimes 18) years old.

The team that teaches football to the youth are all volunteers that dedicate their personal time to the club for the children. Without their involvement and dedication, we would not be where we are today, a club that wants to grow, and making football fun whilst being competitive.

The Project:

We would like to raise sufficient funds to purchase a number of battery powered portable lights that we can use on our grounds for training, especially as the light starts to dwindle in the early evenings.

We feel it is important that our youth members have the opportunity to continue to train on grass for as long as possible on days that suites teams but not only that, it potentially could reduce the overall hiring costs to the club, where those funds can be used on further equipment for the children.

The project alone has a cost in excess of £17,000. We intend to apply for grants to cover part of the total cost, up-to 50% or better! We just need to find that additional funds asap.

Lingfield Youth would greatly appreciate any help that you can provide to get us to the target goal of £7,000.

If there are local companies that want to help on a larger scale of donation, we’d be very happy to hear from you and assist with any promotional advertising we can do at our grounds to show off your support. As they say ‘many hands make light work of big problems/challenges’.

From all at Lingfield Youth, we thank you.
