Help Thorplands Club 81 Shine Bright!

We urgently need your help to raise funds for portable floodlights to keep our players on the pitch, training safely, and enjoying the game we all love. As the winter months roll in, the darker evenings are making it nearly impossible for our youth, teenage, and adult teams to train effectively. Without proper lighting, we’re at risk of cutting sessions short or even cancelling them entirely—something we can’t afford to do.

Thorplands Club 81 is a community-focused football club offering free training, fully supported by qualified UEFA-badged coaches. We work hard to provide an inclusive, safe, and engaging environment for players of all ages, but we’re facing a significant barrier due to the lack of lighting at our facilities.

Why Portable Floodlights Matter:

• Safe Training: We can avoid injuries and accidents due to poor visibility.

• More Time on the Ball: Players will get full, quality training sessions, even in the evening.

• Community Impact: Helps us maintain consistent engagement and player development, especially for youth teams, including our future women's and young girls' teams.

  
  

Thorplands Club 81 FC Under 11s are just one of junior teams looking for your support.

What We Need:

We’re aiming to raise £3,500 to purchase portable floodlights, allowing us to set up and light pitches wherever needed.

Why Your Support is Crucial:

Many of our players come from low-income families, and we strive to keep football free and accessible.

Portable floodlights are an immediate and long-term solution that will benefit players across all teams.

Any donation, no matter how small, will directly help us ensure our players don’t miss out. Let’s light up our fields and keep the Thorplands community thriving!

Thank you for being a part of our journey!
