A youth football pitch for the Harmony health centre yard: help our neighbors in Gothenburg
A community-led a youth football pitch at the Harmony health centre yard that will serve 261 neighbors.
🇸🇪 Västra Götaland, Sweden3,606 views
For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a youth football pitch. This year a group of 19 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Harmony health centre yard, but no funding.
We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $3,250.
It will serve about 261 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 $3,250 goes:
• Tools hire and delivery: $440
• Permits and inspections: $260
• Materials: $2,550
Thanks for reading all this.

Hang in there. Looking forward to the next update. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Savannah.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Birgitta.
Sure. The biggest one is tools hire and delivery, $440. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Appreciate you taking the time.
Keep going, Birgitta. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Semarang
Rooting for you. Great idea, hope you get there. Thinking of Gothenburg.
How is Birgitta doing now?
Sending strength, Birgitta. Great idea, hope you get there. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care!
Sending love. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Gothenburg.
great idea, hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Bogor so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
