Terrors funding plea gets a ten thousand pound response

Tooting & Mitcham United FC's crowdfunding campaign, which we told you about a few weeks ago, has closed with the club raising £10,070.00 thanks to the generous donations of its supporters, the local community and the clubs sponsors.

A sponsored run around the pitch by Joint First Team Managers Cornelius Nwadialor and Ashley Bosah and coach Myles Warren- pictured above- helped increase donations as the campaign entered the second week and their efforts are to be applauded as they undertook the run on one of our hottest days.

The donations over the last 4 weeks consisted of various amounts from £5 to £500, with the average donation being £42. The total sum raised includes £1,900 of sponsorship packages, including 6 mascot packages, 8 for match day sponsorship and 2 purchasing the ‘Friend of T&MUFC package’ for £500.

The remaining amount consisted of general donations and the money will be divided evenly across all areas of the organisation with contributions going towards the recent pitch works carried out and general facility improvements to assist with the safe reopening of the premises as well as money towards the first team budget and the youth section for new equipment e.g. balls, bibs and cones.

Caroline McRoyall, Chair of Tooting & Mitcham United FC said:

‘We have been overwhelmed with the generosity of our supporters, many of whom have donated more than once to the campaign. The money will help the club so much during this time and when we are able to reopen safely. We look forward to seeing you all at Imperial Fields soon’.
