A youth football pitch: a volunteer-led effort in Lecce

Volunteers in Lecce are raising $2,600 for a youth football pitch at the Union health centre yard.

Lecce
For three years the neighborhood has asked for a youth football pitch. This year a group of 8 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Union health centre yard, but no funding. We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $2,600. It will serve about 348 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. We'll hold a build day in October and everyone is invited. We're a small team, and every dollar will be spent in the open - I'll post receipts and progress photos. Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered. Where the $2,600 goes: • Safety equipment and signage: $185 • Permits and inspections: $185 • Materials: $2,230 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Viola

    Quick response, great follow-up

    Perfect example of someone making a real difference. They took time out of their busy schedule to help me and never made me feel like a burden.
