Although we tend not to shout about our achievements I am keen that all of our hard work is recognised from time to time. There are not many awards that we can enter as such a small charity, and when we do, we are always up against the big well known charities who have full […]
A massive well done and thanks to Ashley, Rob and Ian who somehow managed to complete the 1,300 mile marathon drive in 23 hours and 10 minutes, which raised an amazing £1,400 plus Gift Aid. In so doing they also managed to avoid having their legs waxed by 50 minutes! I am really pleased that […]
To whet your appetite we attach a photo of one of the fantastic framed photos we received of George Best, Peter Osgood, Geoff Hurst, Trevor Brooking and Billy Bremner. We have decided to hold an auction via our web site link which is currently being set up with the help of Switch and Laura Davis. […]
We received a contact from the family of Guy, who sadly passed away in March. Guy was a Watford supporter and he also supported our work, which he followed through our links with the club and with Graham. The family asked for kit and financial donations at the funeral and we have agreed to ring […]
We received a request for information from a girl in Canberra who was interested in setting up a similar project to KitAid. After some discussion amongst the Trustees I emailed back to understand exactly how closely they wanted to mirror our operating model, and we have subsequently shared some emails where I have offered advice […]

She is a very impressive person, a player for Chelsea, England, Team GB as well as being a qualified Sports Lawyer. Her […]
Derrick has lucky enough to do a couple of radio interviews recently, so all of Beds, Bucks and Herts are now aware of us. Well…those who listen in to Sunday night and lunch time local radio! The Sunday night DJ (Nesta MacGregor) was great and he was really enthusiastic as he supported Arsenal and […]
One of our Trustees,Julia has been persevering and after almost giving up, the PR machine at MUFC emailed out of the blue to say that they would print a story about KitAid and the kit Julia took out to Lesotho in a match day programme. Suddenly one night last week, without any notice, our twitter […]
We have been offered some press photos from the 1970’s by a retired freelance Fleet Street photographer. He has the copyright and has hundreds of photos of the top name players. I have given him a list of the big names (Best, Moore, Charlton, Keegan,etc) and we are waiting to see what comes back. We […]
