Earlier this year, Pontefract Collieries FC, based on Beechnut Lane, applied for funding to win the opportunity to win up to £50,000 for their community work during the pandemic. And Pontefract Collieries FC prevailed as one of two non-league clubs to win a 50 per cent share of the available funds, meaning the club will receive a £25,000 product bursary. “Pontefract Collieries FC are a brilliant example of a club who has dedicated time and efforts to support local areas and families. At Pontefract Collieries FC, a new kitchen will be installed to help local organisation, Pontefract Food Hub, to provide support to local families, including offering free school meals during holidays.
