Banbury United FC in Oxfordshire has launched an urgent fundraising appeal to repair its clubhouse roof after it was severely damaged by months of bad weather. The fan-owned club is asking for help to ensure the building remains open for supporters, volunteers, and local community events.
The club aims to raise £6,500 through a JustGiving page to pay for the essential repairs and prevent the facility from becoming unusable. This clubhouse serves as a central hub for the team’s operations and is a key gathering spot on matchdays.
Significant support has already been provided, including a £10,000 grant from Banbury Charities to help fund the project. Additionally, members of the Unite union working at the JDE factory in the town have contributed £500 to the fund.
As a non-profit Community Benefit Society, Banbury United is 100 per cent owned by its fans. The club depends on the local community and volunteers to maintain its historic grounds and keep the team running for the people of Banbury.
