The Herefordshire Schools FA is facing funding cuts by its national governing body. So Dan Chance who was recently appointed Schools Football Coordinator for the Herefordshire Schools Football Association has launched a 'Crowdfunding' appeal to help plug the gap.
In essence the aim is to raise £2000.
Below are the Details:

What is The Herefordshire Schools Football Association? The
purpose of the Herefordshire Schools Football Association is to create
an environment for local footballers to develop and be upskilled,
something that is only possible through creating an environment of the
highest quality. There Herefordshire Schools Football Association also
create and run all schools fixtures and tournaments within the county.
The Herefordshire Schools Football Association achieve the high quality
environment through the providing of highly qualified coaches, who are
provided with top quality training equipment and constantly update their
skillset with the latest methods and ideas. The excellent environment
is further presented through the use of the top facilities within the
county, this includes both grass and 3G facilities for both tournaments,
match days and training sessions.
Why do we need this support? Due to recent budget cuts and
the increased development programme throughout The Football Associations
structure, the Herefordshire Schools Football Association have recent
seen a reduction in their budget, causing a restriction in the amount of
opportunities that can be created. This is why the Herefordshire
Schools Football Association are looking to crowd fund a minimum of
£2000.00 in order to continue to offer a high quality environment, with
exciting opportunities to players within the county.
What will be done with the money? The Herefordshire
Schools Football Association will utilise the money raised to fund
co-ordinators costs to increase the provision of football within the
county. The funding will be used to purchase new kit and equipment, the
hiring of facilities, the payment of officials and will be used to
employ and upskill staff. This money will be reinvested in providing the
player who participate in schools football within the county a superior
environment within which to safely participate.
How can you help? If you can’t donate money, then
please could you help us by spreading the word about our crowd funding
project? We are constantly looking for more support and help, do not
