The COVID-19 pandemic has caused huge disruption to all of our lives and businesses and that includes charities such as ourselves.
Aswell as grant funding that we receive from the National League Trust and other partners such as Trafford Housing Trust, we rely heavily on the income that is generated by our many community activities such as walking football, yoga, alty mini kickers to name but 3.
As you can imagine all of our activities ceased on the UK entering lockdown which led to the community team being placed on furlough and a very uncertain future.
To support us through this difficult time we were approached by Barclays in the form of club co chairman Lawrence Looney who very generously offered to match fund any funds we could raise through a campaign of fundraising by ourselves.
The activities are listed below and further details will follow on how to support us with our efforts to raise £5,000.
