Fund the Foundations - November

November was a cracking month for Fund the Foundations. Direct debits are up for the fourth month in a row and we broke through for 40% figure on our totaliser!

Headlines

• Monthly direct debits increased by £245 and now stand at £1302.50 (up from £758.50 at the end of July)
• Total monthly income was £1646.97 (the highest total since the month of July when the initiative was established)
• Cash in the bank now stands at £8425.42 – meaning we are at 42% of our £20k total for the season.
• November’s prize of a 12-month subscription to the Holiday Draw was won by John Clough – good luck in the draw John!
• 173 co-owners have now contributed to the scheme – with 5 Bayern Munich fans dropping off €50 on a recent visit to Broadhurst Park.

A big thank you

The Fund the Foundations team would like to extend a big thank you to FC United co-owner Dave Smith who’s fundraising efforts have raised a fantastic £1440 to boost the coffers further – this will land into the account in December, meaning we should reach the £10,000 figure by Christmas.

In addition, we want to thank our co-owners who voted 98.3% in favour of putting Fund the Foundations on a permanent footing at the recent AGM. The resolution passed states, the scheme will “help repay historic debts incurred as a result of the construction of Broadhurst Park. Money raised towards this fund will be ringfenced for the purpose of debt repayment and must not be used for any other purpose.”

What’s to come?

December’s prize is two places in match day dining, to be redeemed in the New Year. Anyone who has contributed to the scheme from its inception in July will be entered into the draw. One of the great things of Fund the Foundations is you can sign up for as little as £1 a month, so sign up today and let’s get that debt cleared!

We are delighted to be joining up with Course You Can Malcolm to put on a special pre-match event on Saturday 23^rd vs Stafford Rangers. There’ll be a quiz, raffle and lots of merry cheer, so get down to the ground early and get involved.
