Dear all
We help run the football team at Levenshulme Catholic Club the team is now in its second season and we have come 3rd in the league this season.
The team age ranges from 17 to 30 and most of the players are either unemployed or have low income jobs, we play on Mellands pitches on Mount Road in the Tameside League, its great to see all the family members of the players join in and bond together with a great community sprit around the team and for some this is the highlight of there week.
The problem we have is trying to raise the fund to keep it running next season. those players that can afford to pay subs do and those that are unemployed pay what they can, we never discriminate against any one with no money and always welcome new players to join in the community spirit of the team, all though we play out of the Catholic Club there financial situation under the current climate is struggling and we get no funding from them but they do allow us to use all there facilities.
It cost’s £1200 to keep the team running each season and to help our fund raising we shall be holding a Presentation party/fund raising on 26th June at the club. We would like to enquire if there is any community funding available to help our team and how we would approach this subject.
We would also be very grateful for any donations or prizes for the raffle. if you could recommend who we can approach and after all every body is welcome to join.
Our long term plan is to have teams for all ages both boys and girls and keep the community spirit going.
Every body over18 is more than welcome to come to our grand night and we look forward to see you all. (£2 on the door) disco /karaoke/fun games and raffle etc
Please come and join in the fun if you can donate a prize of any size we would appreciate it and of course mention your company as the sponsor of that prize.
Yours faithfully Steve and Donna (on behalf of the team)
