Royal Wootton Bassett Town has again applied for grant funding from Aviva's Community Fund scheme and needs YOUR vote to help qualify.

This year the club is seeking funding to help supports its "Friday Footy" veterans football programme.

What initially started as a pay-as-you-play open age session with only a few players has since blossomed, with about 50 players now attending on an ad hoc basis. Since November, 67 players have attended with an average age of 43, with the eldest player being a sprightly 68!

However, financial support is required as they currently rely on using balls and bibs provided by the Wiltshire FA and wear old kits.

If successful, funding will be put towards the purchase of first aid, training equipment, playing kit and to block book use of the AGP at the Gerard Buxton Sports Ground to help reduce costs for players.

You can vote for the club at https://community-fund.aviva.co.uk/voting/project/view/17-5047.

All you need to do is create an account, search for "Royal Wootton Bassett" and allocate your 10 votes to the football club.

Please also share with others to encourage as much support as possible.
