Imagine putting on a squeaky-clean pair of football boots for the first time and feeling like your football hero.

We want every child to have the chance to feel proud walking out onto the pitch, regardless of their financial situation.

With bills increasing left, right and centre, many families are struggling to give children the opportunity to pursue a hobby that most take for granted.

Football Pitch is looking for financial donors to support children, initially in Buckinghamshire, affected by the cost of living crisis by providing them with football boots, coaching and football club subsidies to ensure they get the opportunities they deserve.

About me

Hi I’m Tom. I grew up in Leicester playing football after school and on the weekends in the park with my friends. Nothing beats the feeling of kicking a ball around and being part of a team.

Today I’m a parent of two girls - my eldest is a goal keeper for Hemel Hempstead’s under 12s and plays for Watford FCs ETC. I’ve seen her develop in confidence and find a gang of friends who share her love of kicking a ball around in all weathers.

I’m a certified FA qualified coach and love helping children experience playing football

I set up Football Pitch because I know not everyone is in a position to send their children to football training or buy them new football boots for their feet which never seem to stop growing! I believe everyone should have the chance to experience being part of a team. It would be amazing if you could donate to the cause in whatever way you can and help children to pursue their football dreams.
