A WREXHAM-based football club is fundraising to help it 'grow and develop' and continue the work it does in the community.

Established by Delwyn Derrick in 2016, Bellevue Football Club currently play in the North East Wales Championship Division.

Since then, the club has gone from strength to strength and has become a vital cog in the community - providing opportunities for refugees, asylum seekers and vulnerable people to integrate into the community.

Bellevue FC just recently moved to a new a ground at Court Road and, in order to continue to develop as a club, a fundraiser has been set up.

That has already reached £500 of its £1,000 target, meaning that the club can hire the facilities for a year.

However, doubling that amount would mean that the club will be able to cover the costs of equipment and facilities for all four of its teams for the 2023/24 season.

Alongside its mens team, Bellevue are planning to introduce women's, under 11's and under 12's sides next season.

A statement on the fundraising page - which you can donate to here - read: "A Bellevue FC has completed the move to their new home at Court Road, Wrexham in order to grow and develop as a community club.

"Powered forward by a dedicated team of volunteers, for the first time ever Bellevue will be entering a women's team, an under 12's and an under 11's alongside the successful men's team.

"With the increased number of teams, there is an increased financial cost and we are as ever relying on the community that we support to help us ensure our financial sustainability for this season and beyond.

"Whether it's a one-time donation or you'd like to set up a monthly direct debit to support the club, your generosity will ensure that we can continue our work which currently supports around 100 people across the region."
