A youth football pitch for Harmony Primary School: help our neighbors in Poitiers
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a youth football pitch - we need $2,550 for materials.
🇫🇷 Poitiers, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France1,898 views
For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a youth football pitch. This year a group of 13 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Harmony Primary School, but no funding.
We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $620, and the remaining cost is $2,550.
It will serve about 590 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. We'll hold a build day in November 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 $2,550 goes:
• Safety equipment and signage: $165
• Materials: $2,200
• Permits and inspections: $185
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Quick update: $250 raised so far (10%). I made the first payment toward safety equipment and signage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them. - Jade
Update from Poitiers: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 5% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
