At the September boxing up in Hatfield we passed the total number of boxes sent out for the whole of last year and so created another record. We have currently sent out 1,443 boxes beating last year's record total of 1,379 boxes. Since 1998 we have now sorted and found a new home for 361,635 […]
Ikechi has helped us with promotions in the past and he is definitely a footballer with an interest in supporting good causes. Last week he turned up without any prior notice to the Affinity Water Head Office, to donate some great kit. This included one of his current season WFC shirts signed by the entire […]
We are really pleased to soon be entering into our first official partnership with a Premier League team. We do get support from quite a few PL clubs, but this will the first long term partnership. It has come about thanks to the support of the Everton Heritage Society who promoted us to the club […]
Aside from receiving lots of kit and holding boxing up sessions, we also attended the highly successful Watford FC Open Day where we received a lot of great kit and met supporters and players. We were helped by the ex WFC and Scotland international, Ikechi Anya, re-tweeting some of our requests for kit to his […]
Well done to the guys from the Airdrieonians Supporters Trust who have collected 1,000 shirts so far this year at the launch of their ingenious season ticket for a shirt campaign.

The celebration was held at Homestead Court Hotel in Welwyn Garden City as this is where the West German team stayed before the final at Wembley. The England team also used it as a base during the early […]
KitAid has officially come of age and it was celebrated at the recent boxing up session in Hatfield on 2 July with a birthday cake and a small glass of Prosecco for everyone. It was also great on the day to reach a new milestone of 350,000 items of kit sent out since 1998, which […]
We’re very sad to say that our storage container was broken into again and this time it was a targeted attack as nothing else in the yard was touched. A few months ago the same criminals broke into it and stole some boxes of mainly second hand kit. Each time they cause damage to the […]
You may remember that last year that we ring fenced the fantastic donation received from Ashley Judge’s 24 Hour Premier League ground challenge, so that it could be used for a special project in Guy’s memory. We are pleased to have now found and agreed between all parties, a great project in Zambia to use […]
