Sydney
For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a youth football pitch. This year a group of 27 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Pioneer Park, but no funding. We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $3,500. It will serve about 330 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in May 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 $3,500 goes: • Tools hire and delivery: $320 • Materials: $3,050 • Permits and inspections: $130 Glad we found this place.

  • Keep going, Nora. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 27 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

    • You're not alone, Nora. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Greetings from Faisalabad
