A youth football pitch for the Harmony health centre yard: help our neighbors in Frankfurt
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a youth football pitch - we need $2,250 for materials.
🇩🇪 Frankfurt, Hesse, Germany2,631 views
For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a youth football pitch. This year a group of 20 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Harmony health centre yard, but no funding.
We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $2,250.
It will serve about 336 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. 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.
All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance.
Where the $2,250 goes:
• Materials: $1,300
• Permits and inspections: $190
• Safety equipment and signage: $270
• Tools hire and delivery: $490
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Quick update: $349 raised so far (16%). I met with the suppliers and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Thank you all. We're at 51% now ($1,157). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for permits and inspections is now scheduled.
