The old Liberty bus depot needs a youth football pitch - Samuel's neighborhood project
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a youth football pitch - we need $550 for materials.

For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a youth football pitch. This year a group of 27 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Liberty bus depot, but no funding.
We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $1,100, and the remaining cost is $550.
It will serve about 316 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in September 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 $550 goes:
• Safety equipment and signage: $120
• Permits and inspections: $240
• Tools hire and delivery: $190

Take care. Hope this works out for you. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Bucaramanga.
gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Liverpool.
