Let's build a youth football pitch together in Melbourne

For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a youth football pitch. This year a group of 17 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Unity Primary School, but no funding. We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $2,050. It will serve about 319 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. We'll hold a build day in August 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 $2,050 goes: • Materials: $1,450 • Permits and inspections: $115 • Safety equipment and signage: $240 • Tools hire and delivery: $245 Glad we found this place.
