At the heart of our communities, including the surrounding areas and Jacksdale where our home is situated, Eastwood & Kimberley FC has long been a place where passion, teamwork, and local pride come together. From youth development to senior competition, football at The Dale Club is about more than just the game — it’s about belonging.

Now, we’re asking for your support to help us take the next important step forward: raising funds to build brand-new team dugouts at our ground.

Why We Need Dugouts

Currently, our teams and coaching staff do not have proper sheltered dugouts during matches. This presents several challenges:

Exposure to the weather — Players and substitutes are left out in rain, wind, and extreme sun.

Limited seating and structure — There is no dedicated, professional area for substitutes and staff.

Matchday standards — Modern football facilities require safe, compliant technical areas.

Player welfare — Protecting players while they wait to enter the game is essential.

Installing high-quality, secure dugouts will provide:

- Weather protection

- Safe and organised seating

- Improved matchday experience

- Enhanced appearance of our ground

- Compliance with league standards

- A more professional environment for players and officials

- Investing in Our Community

The Dale Club isn’t just a football ground — it’s a community hub.

The facilities are used by:

- Youth teams

- Grassroots development squads

- Volunteers and coaches

- Supporters and families

- Local events and gatherings

By building dugouts, we are investing in:

- The development of young players

- The long-term future of the club

- Community pride

- Improved facilities for everyone who uses the ground

- Our Fundraising Goal

We aim to raise funds to cover:

- Construction and installation of two team dugouts

- Ground preparation and groundwork

- Safety compliance and structural materials

- Installation costs

Every donation — no matter the size — moves us closer to making this project a reality.
