Saving Willington AFC
Donation protected
We are members of the EBAC Northern League with a proud history having been Wembley winners in the FA Amatuer Cup. We thought long and hard about doing this but with the current circumstances we are struggling financially to sustain the club.
Our clubhouse is closed and we have missed out on hosting 6 cup finals from both the Crook & District and Wear Valley Sunday leagues. Even if restrictions are lifted we very much doubt that the Willington junior tournament will go ahead in the summer either.
Income from these fixtures sees us through the close season and without it we are having great difficulty meeting the day to day costs of running a football club.
Willington AFC has been an important part of the community since 1906 and we are desperately trying to keep the club alive. When the lockdown is lifted community clubs like ours will be more valuable than ever as we all try to get back to normality.
If you wish to donate we would be extremely grateful. No amount is too little and all of it will go to helping a club that is ran by good will and it's volunteers.
Thank you.
