1. WHY DO WE NEED TO FUNDRAISE?


Basingstoke Town Colts Youth Football Club is an FA-accredited club that provides children of all abilities, ages 6-16, with the opportunity to play our nation's sport. With 24 teams across 12 age groups (U6s through U16s), we have made incredible progress in recent years. Our club ethos:

  • To provide football for all children of all ages and abilities in a fun and safe environment.
  • To promote good behaviour and respect for others.
  • To ensure all players play within the rules of the game.
  • Promote the importance of Teamwork.
  • Play to achieve but not at the cost of development.

We are an entirely volunteer-run not-for-profit community grassroots football club. To remain sustainable, fundraising and sponsorship are essential income streams for a club of our size.

Our fundraising and sponsorship efforts enable us to keep membership fees low for all players, so grassroots sport remains affordable for everyone. In addition, the funds we raise will allow us to invest back into the club to buy new equipment, enhance facilities, and provide coaching, all in line with our club development plan.

The club is always looking for new ideas and volunteers to help fundraise, so please get in touch if you can help.
