Help DRG Frenchay Replace its stolen items!

In August 2025, Chairman Paul Lloyd completed a sponsored walk from Bristol to Liverpool — 160+ miles — to raise vital funds for DRG Frenchay AFC’s Pitch Fund and the Samaritans. Thanks to the incredible support we received, DRG Frenchay was able to purchase a ride-on tractor to help maintain our pitch and keep grassroots football alive in our community.

But less than a month later, disaster struck.

We suffered not one, not two but three break-ins. Criminals broke into our containers, stealing everything, including the tractor our chairman, worked so hard to secure for the club.

We are now fighting an uphill battle with the insurance company just to replace what was stolen. On top of that, we now need to repair and upgrade the containers to prevent this from ever happening again.

Grassroots football clubs like ours survive because of the incredible volunteers who give up their free time to coach, maintain, support, and run the teams. We are proud of what we do for our players, families, and community — but right now, we need help.

Every donation, big or small, will go directly towards:

• Replacing the stolen groundskeeping equipment

• Repairing and securing the club’s storage units

• Ensuring DRG Frenchay can continue to provide football for all

If you can support us, or even just share this page, it would mean the world to everyone involved with DRG Frenchay AFC.

Thank you for standing with grassroots football.

Up the Durge! ⚽️
