As a not-for-profit charity we aim to balance our books to achieve a small surplus that we can put in reserves for capital investment in the facilities and equipment.

Most of our expenditure is revenue based to keep the club operating (venue hire; grounds equipment and maintenance; kits and apparel; football goals and training equipment; volunteer training; presentation/trophies; league fees; insurances; food and drink stock etc.).

We pride ourselves on ensuring we provide access to all, and for our members, volunteers, supporters and the community, high quality facilities, equipment, training and overall enduring memories and community impact.

Costs continue to go up with high inflation and although we have a sound financial footing, this diminishes our ability to invest in key projects, equipment and training to meet our high quality standards that our members and the community deserves. Added to this is the change in weather patterns, which is making it more challenging to maintain access our pitches and access to our pitches.

We are seeking a collective effort to raise funds to contribute to a pathway from the club house to the 7 and 9-a-side pitches. We know as soon as it gets wet access it becomes boggy, unsafe and for those with prams and wheelchairs, impossible to get to the pitches.

Get involved, engaged and excited for our sponsored walk/run from Vulcan Sports Club to the Olympiastadion in Germany and back. Every member of the club from the academy through to the open age will contribute to the 2832kms distance by clocking up as many miles as possible in 60 mins. Not only will it be a good for fitness, and team bonding, you will be raising money towards a much needed pathway, and from the money raised we will be donating a proportion of this to a select number of charities.

We have until Sunday 14th July to hit our target of 2832KM (and hopefully see England lift the trophy in Berlin).
