Portland United launches £100,000 appeal for new 3G pitch and stadium upgrades

Portland United Football Club has launched a major crowdfunding campaign to help develop its new stadium and install a community 3G pitch.

Following the club’s promotion to the Southern League, it is hoping to raise £100,000 to fund the new playing surface and other essential improvements to the ground.

The club says the development would benefit the whole island, providing a reliable, year-round facility for youth teams and creating opportunities for local schools, community organisations and other sports groups.

Portland United also hopes the improved stadium will become a community hub where people can meet, take part in activities and attend events throughout the week.

The club said: “This isn’t simply an investment in a football club — it is an investment in the future of the entire island.”

It added that the project would give young people somewhere to play, train, make friends and develop confidence, while helping the next generation of Portland footballers dream of eventually representing the first team.

The campaign uses a “keep what you raise” funding model, meaning Portland United will receive every pledge made before the deadline of 2.19pm on Sunday, November 15, 2026.

Donations of any size are welcomed, while people can also support the campaign by sharing it, volunteering or offering sponsorship.

💙Help Us Keep Our Pitches Clean💙

With the new football season fast approaching, let’s all do our bit to keep our pitches clean, safe and welcoming for the children and adults who use them every day.

Our dedicated volunteers give up their own time to maintain these facilities for the children of Portland. The last thing our coaches should have to do is clean up after other people’s dogs.

If you’re walking your dog around our pitches, please pick up after them and dispose of it responsibly.

It’s a small thing that makes a big difference.

Let’s support our volunteers, respect our facilities and work together to create pitches the whole of Portland can be proud of.

Please pick up after your dog - so our coaches don’t have to. ⚽🐾

We have put together an exact wishlist of plumbing, flooring, roofing, and safety materials totaling approximately £4,400-£6K. We are desperately asking our amazing local community, local businesses, and tradespeople for help!
🤝 HOW YOU CAN HELP US THIS SUMMER:Sponsor a Specific Item: Can your business buy or supply one of our specific wishlist needs? (For example, we need 8 Triton electric showers, slip-resistant safety flooring, or subfloor plywood). See our attached official wishlist!

The power of our local community is unmatched, and the right business owner or builder's merchant might just see this.
