Clapton CFC Hardship Fund

Clapton CFC  is a member-owned and run community football club. As a community we want to help our members who will be struggling financially due to the impact of the Coronavirus. We are setting up a ‘hardship fund’ with the aim of raising donations and distributing the money to members in financial need. The idea is to help Clapton CFC members during this crisis by appealing to those who will continue to receive a regular income to donate generously to support those within our membership who will be hit hard financially by recent events. Of course, we are thinking about the unemployed and those on benefits, but also the self-employed, those on zero-hour contracts or freelancers who suddenly find they have a dramatically reduced income (and, as yet, no clear government support). There will be no restriction placed on how the money is used. The idea is to provide some short-term, cashflow relief to those in most need. In short, we want to help and that depends on how many members can assist. Obviously, not everyone can donate at this difficult time but those who can please donate generously
