Support our new community hub at Priory School fields

A game-changer for football in Lewes

Football in Lewes is thriving, with hundreds of players, coaches, and volunteers dedicating their time to making the sport accessible to all. However, the facilities supporting this vibrant community are outdated, lacking shelter, changing rooms, and essential storage. We’re taking action to change that—but we need your help.

Our vision: a home for community football

The Lewes Football Foundation is working to create a new community hub—a much-needed space at the heart of our football grounds. This facility will provide:

✅ Shelter and seating for players and spectators
✅ Changing rooms and toilets for all-weather use
✅ Secure storage for essential equipment
✅ Lighting and power to extend usability
✅ A welcoming environment for all who use the space

By investing in this project, you're directly supporting grassroots football and ensuring our community has the infrastructure to keep the game alive for years to come.

Our target: £65,000

Building a quality facility costs money, and we’re aiming to raise £65,000 to cover the essential elements of the project. The estimated breakdown includes:

• Structural foundation and groundwork: £6,250

• Reclaimed shipping containers for facilities: £25,000

• Roof construction: £15,000

• Lighting and electrics: £2,500

• Plumbing and drainage: £250

• Flooring (using reclaimed 3G surface): £1,000

• Fencing and security: £1,500

• Painting and signage: £3,500

• General contingency: £10,000

We're keeping costs down by relying on volunteer labour and reusing materials, where possible, but we still need financial support to make it happen.

• Over 300 junior players across multiple teams

• Weekly Walking Football and Football Therapy sessions

• Lewes Veterans’ football teams

• Priory School students who currently have no changing facilities for sports or a home for their Forest School

• Players at Lewes FC
