We need your help to raise more than £30,000 for a new clubhouse at Parc Ynysderw.

We are looking to raise more than £30,000 in order for the club to have a new clubhouse for volunteers, players, parents and supporters at our Parc Ynysderw Ground. We at Pontardawe Town are a friendly community football club run by volunteers who are trying to better ourselves. We are not an exclusive wealthy club with lots of funds.

Covid-19 has very much knocked the club’s progress, with the rules against large community gatherings causing massive damage to our ability to generate income to keep the club going. Large fundraising events that are the lifeblood of the club, such as the annual Football Festival, Golf Day and other Club Events have all been cancelled.

We believe that if the club can raise the money, it will have two major benefits.

Firstly, it will enable the club to generate much needed income, which initially will make up for the significant losses caused by Covid-19, and in the longer term will help the club improve its playing facilities and coaching offer.

Secondly, it will enable us to launch the venue as a place where the club, and the whole community, can come and take part in a host of wellbeing activities.

Since we managed to obtain the lease from the council in 2015, we have been working to provision the facilities required to maintain our status in the Football Association of Wales (FAW) Pyramid Structure. Now we desperately need a new clubhouse having had to sell our old clubhouse in the village in order to help fund our move to Parc Ynysderw

It has been a massive effort in recent years and we have raised enough funding to achieve FAW Criteria but we now need funds to purchase a portacabin type building and to equip the inside of the building to include a club room, kitchen, toilets. We already have planning permission for this agreed.

We have applied for grants to many, many organisations and have been successful in obtaining some grants but none of these grants have been made available for the purchase of a clubhouse.

We really need help to get us over the line, so please donate and share widely to help support our cause and most importantly the community
