Hi, my name is Joe, and I am fundraising for a football team that I have proudly set up called Dover Royals FC.

Dover Royals FC is an Under 12s grassroots football team created to give local children the chance to play football in a safe, positive, and encouraging environment. A big part of what makes our team special is that we actively welcome children who have never played for a team before. For many of our players, this is their first experience of organised football, and we focus just as much on confidence, enjoyment, and belonging as we do on football skills.

As a grassroots club, we rely entirely on fundraising and community support to cover essential costs such as kits, training equipment, pitch hire, referees, and league fees. These are vital to keeping the team running and ensuring that every child has the opportunity to take part, regardless of their background or experience.

We are now seeking vital funding to help our team grow, develop, and continue supporting young players both on and off the pitch. Every donation, no matter how small, will make a real difference to our team and help us continue providing a welcoming pathway into football for children in our community.

Thank you so much for supporting Dover Royals FC and helping our young players begin their football journey.
