Royal Wharf F.C. - Help Us Rebuild, Let Children Thrive

Royal Wharf F.C. was founded in early 2021 with an ambition to create something special - a welcoming and inclusive club built on top-level coaching, where children could make lasting friendships, memories and skills for life. From the start it was about more than just football: bringing families together, connecting the community, and creating a space where the love of the game meets the love we all share for giving children and young people the best chance to thrive.

This summer brought our toughest setback yet. We lost access to our only local training ground, and without secure pitches, community football cannot properly function. At the same time, rising costs make it harder to keep football sustainable while still providing the quality families deserve.

This project is about rebuilding: securing pitches for the year ahead, putting the foundations in place so the Club can grow again on stronger, more stable ground.

Since the beginning, provision for our older age groups has been stop–start and never sustainable, and that story has repeated itself again this summer. With this project we want to change that. For the 2026/27 season, alongside our younger squads, our goal is to enter our first 9v9 and 11v11 league teams - a milestone that will finally give teenagers meaningful, long-term football.

Part of the funding would be allocated towards recognising and celebrating every child’s effort and commitment through end-of-season awards, including medals and trophies.

Your vote will help us rebuild, secure the foundations we need, and create something lasting for the whole community.
