Wheaton Aston Sports and Social Club is excited to announce that we are fundraising to replace our existing decking with a beautiful, permanent, low-maintenance structure that provides full wheelchair access. This upgrade will ensure that our outdoor space remains accessible and enjoyable for everyone in the community.

The current decking has served us well but is now reaching the end of its life. The substructure underneath is deteriorating, and the existing access ramp does not meet the needs of wheelchair users. To address these issues and improve accessibility for all, we’re planning a complete upgrade of the decking area.

What We’re Aiming For

Our goal is to create an outdoor viewing area that everyone can enjoy, whether they’re watching a sports event or attending one of our many community activities. With a new, accessible deck, we will be able to host more events, provide a better experience for our members and guests, and ensure that everyone, regardless of mobility, can fully participate in what the club has to offer.

We are applying for various grants to help fund this project, but we also need your support. We’ll be holding a series of fundraising events and are welcoming donations through this page; https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/decking-replacement. 100% of the money raised will go directly to funding the new decking, with no administration fees or overheads.

Our Target and Timeline

We are aiming to complete the work by October 2025, though we hope to begin sooner if we can raise the necessary funds. Any contributions—large or small—will be greatly appreciated and will bring us one step closer to our goal.
