Well, the masterplan is finished (we will post it on the club site in the next few days) and the planning application has gone in. Exciting times, as the cliche goes, but these really are exciting times for all at SUFC and so now we really need to make a final effort to get over the line. This is where you can help.
We announced recently that the board has released a batch of shares to raise ring-fenced funds for the project, that release is going very well but there are still shares available if you would like some (e-mail davef@suttonunited.net for details).
However, we are aware that not all of our fans who would like to help support the project will want to buy shares. You can also participate in the Trust's Buy A Brick scheme for £30 per brick (e-mail anthony.henderson-smith@sky.com) but now we have launched our first ever CROWDFUNDING project.
Crowdfunding is a product of the digital age, a web-based scheme that allows anybody,from anywhere far and wide, to back a scheme in any part of the world. The concept is that a lot of relatively small donations can add up to make a very significant contribution to a project. In return for the donations, the project bidding for funding offers small, unique and hopefully interesting rewards. Our rewards range from a simple lapel badge to the chance to observe a first team training session. Although the different rewards are triggered at set levels, backers can donate any amount that they want. You can even donate more than once if you fancy collecting several different rewards.
The club only receives any money if we reach the target sum, in this case £20,000, so if you make a donation and we do not reach that target you get your money back. If we make over £20,000 then we do get all of the extra sum donated - fingers crossed ! All of the funds raised through the crowdfunding site will go towards the community phase of the project.
For more details of the project and to make your donation, please go to www.crowdfunder.co.uk/collingwood-community-pavilion/
