Dawley Wanderers U9s Conquer the Wrekin in Fundraising Effort

Today marked a fantastic achievement for the Dawley Wanderers U9s football team as the young players, coaches, and families completed their walk up the Wrekin — one of Telford’s most iconic landmarks — as part of their ongoing fundraising campaign for new kit and equipment.

The team set off with great energy and enthusiasm, determined to reach the summit together. Spirits were high as the boys encouraged each other up the steep paths, proudly representing the heart of grassroots football in Telford.

The walk was not just about the climb; it was a testament to the team spirit, dedication, and community support that surrounds Dawley Wanderers. In the run-up to the event, the team has been overwhelmed by the generosity of the local community. Parents, friends, and residents from across Telford rallied behind the cause, contributing to the fundraising effort with kind words, encouragement, and incredibly generous donations.

Local businesses also stepped up in support, helping the team edge closer to their fundraising goals. Their contributions will go a long way in ensuring that the players are kitted out with proper gear and training equipment as they continue to develop both on and off the pitch.

The club would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who supported this initiative — from those who donated, shared the cause, or joined the team on their Wrekin walk. Your support means the world to these young footballers.

With your help, Dawley Wanderers U9s are not only reaching new heights — quite literally today — but building a brighter future for grassroots sport in the area.

Any last-minute donations can still be made via their JustGiving link. Every contribution helps the team go even further.
