Hi, my name is Karin Lelengboto. I’m part of the committee of a newly formed women’s and non-binary football team, and I work closely with the head of our local community group. I’m also involved day to day in helping plan, organise, and run the team, so this project is something I care deeply about.

This fundraiser has been created to support the development of grassroots women’s and non-binary football in our area. Football at this level plays a crucial role in promoting inclusion, physical and mental wellbeing, confidence, and strong community connections. Our goal is to create a safe, welcoming, and sustainable space where players of all backgrounds can train, develop their skills, and feel a sense of belonging.

How your donations will be used:

All funds raised will go directly toward supporting the team and its players. This includes:

Every contribution will help ensure the team remains accessible, well-supported, and able to grow in a positive and sustainable way.

How funds will reach the team:

Donations will be managed transparently by the team’s committee and used solely for the benefit of the team and its players. Funds will be allocated directly to team expenses, with oversight from committee members who are actively involved in the running of the club.

Why your support matters

As a new team, we are building everything from the ground up. Your support will help remove financial barriers, strengthen grassroots sport, and empower women and non-binary players to participate in football within a supportive community environment.

We are reaching out to potential donors through our committee roles, our connections with the wider community group, and local networks. With your help, we can lay strong foundations for a team that will benefit our community for years to come.

Thank you for supporting grassroots football, inclusion, and community-led sport.
