Chainska Brassika has produced this track to support the fundraising efforts of Pompey Supporters Trust to raise money for a community football pitch. You can pay from £2.50 upwards to help provide this new opportunity for the Portsmouth community to engage in sporting activities. All of the funds, except for BandCamp administration costs, will go towards the cost of the community football pitch.
Pompey Supporters's Trust - "We would like to start the process of what we do with the Trust’s own money. ‘The board’s number one idea is working with Pompey in the Community to create a proper legacy, rather than us having money sitting in a bank account. ‘Let’s do something meaningful with it to benefit the community. ‘What we wish to do is identify somewhere within the city and acquire a facility, working with Clare (Martin) to develop it into a permanent sports facility which she can use for the community. Pompey in the Community will decide exactly how it will be developed. This project can give our shareholders something to have a sense of pride about, their legacy from the sale of the club."
Clare Martin - "As you can imagine, it’s been an exciting and challenging role running Pompey in the Community over the past few years but as an organisation, Pompey in the Community has not only survived but is thriving; we work with over 6,000 youngsters every week and engaged over 37,000 individuals last year. However, a continual challenge is not having our own sports facility. This means that virtually every time we kick a ball, we have to pay for a football pitch or facility. Our development teams have no home, playing home matches as far afield as Alton and Gosport. A football facility of our own will help us continue to reach out further into the local community and ensure that even more people benefit from our programmes."
