We’re delighted to announce a brand-new partnership between Eckington BFC Yellow (Under 8) and The Fundraising Club Lottery – an initiative that will help us raise much-needed funds to support our young players, whilst also giving you the chance to win some fantastic prizes at the same time.
Supporting Our Young Players – Together
Running a grassroots youth team comes with many essential costs, from equipment and kits to pitch hire, coaching resources, refereeing fees and tournament entries. This partnership offers a simple, affordable way for friends, family, and the wider community to support the team without needing to make large one-off donations. Or the coaches, begging for help with fundraising via scratch cards, raffles or sweepstakes much like we originally did.
How It Works
By joining the lottery through our dedicated page:
- You directly support Eckington BFC Yellow (Under 8) every time you enter into the lottery
- You’ll have the chance to win cash prizes
It’s a win-win – helping the team while giving you the opportunity to win something yourself.
Why This Matters
Grassroots football is about more than just the game. It builds teamwork, resilience, friendships, and lifelong memories. Every entry into the lottery helps ensure our players have access to the opportunities and experiences they deserve.
Funds raised will go towards:
- New training equipment
- Matchday kits
- Tournament entries
- Pitch and facility costs
- Refereeing fees
- End-of-season celebrations
- Off field events
A Word from the Club
Mark Hull shared his thoughts on the partnership:
“This initiative will make a real difference to our club. It allows us to continue providing opportunities for our players develop, enjoy football, and be part of a supportive team environment. The funds raised will go directly back into improving the experience for the children, and we’re incredibly grateful to everyone who chooses to support us.”
