Rebuilding our community field after the storm.

This campaign aims to rehabilitate the field that was destroyed by Storm Kristin, creating a 5-a-side football pitch also suitable for other sports for the community.

This project aims to rehabilitate the field that was degraded and partially destroyed due to Storm Kristin.

The field was an important space for the community, used by young people and adults for sports and socializing. After the damage caused by the storm, it became unusable.

With this initiative, we aim to renovate the 5-a-side football pitch and transform it into a more versatile sports space that also allows for the practice of other sports and physical activities.

The redevelopment aims to provide the community with a safe and functional space for sports, promoting physical activity, social interaction, and healthy use of public space.

With everyone's support, we want to rebuild this space so that it can once again be used by the community.

About the author

The project is promoted by Francisco José Rosa Santos , a young Parish Council President and active member of the community, who has developed several initiatives aimed at improving public spaces and promoting the well-being of the population.

Throughout its history, it has sought to promote projects that encourage community interaction, sports, and the enhancement of public spaces, believing that these are fundamental to strengthening the connection between residents and improving the quality of life locally.

The requalification of the sports field is a personal initiative of Francisco José Rosa Santos , motivated by the damage caused by the storm that left the space degraded and unusable. The goal is to recover this place and transform it once again into a meeting point for young people and adults, promoting the practice of sports and healthy lifestyles.

This project is being developed in partnership with the Meirinhas Parish Council , with the support and collaboration of the Parish Council President, João Pimpão , thus reinforcing the institutional commitment to the improvement and enhancement of this community space.

The initiative aims to mobilize the community to rebuild and upgrade the field, creating a 5-a-side football pitch also adapted for other sports (basketball and tennis) , in order to guarantee a more versatile, accessible and useful space for everyone.

Budget and due dates

The funds raised in this campaign will be used to renovate the sports field that was damaged by the storm , allowing the community to regain a safe and suitable space for practicing sports.
