We visited the brilliant Footy Camp project on 18 July to see the final day of the event, which really is a great day. I have been 5 times now and each time I come away totally inspired by the great work Peter (Thompson) and his team do, but I do think this years camp […]
Probably one of the most enjoyable aspects of KitAid is being able to help so many people across the world. As you will know, we operate a very cost effective model and we have always worked on the basis that if we do build up a surplus of funds, we will mange our finances responsibly […]

Many thanks to Julian Chenery from AIG Insurance for arranging this event, which happened on Friday 13 June. I have seen press cuttings from different parts of the UK, including Devon, Cornwall and Glasgow.

Quite a while ago we had a meeting with a charity from St Lucia (Sacred Sports Foundation) which was set up in memory of Keith Alexander, the late manager of Lincoln City. I was unaware of the level of poverty in such a beautiful location and we were really impressed with their work. We finally […]
The May session was another really good boxing up and over 100 boxes left the building with 4 different charities. It was also nice to see Janet and Dom Neville who came down from Liverpool to attend the session. Helen drove down from Birmingham and we also had a charity attending from Cardiff, so distance […]
Sadly Stegota were pipped at the post on the final day of the season for a place in the full time FUFA Big league in Uganda. This is really disappointing as they are geared up for the next level and they recently beat a team who are in the Ugandan Cup Final which includes some […]

The guys have received formal sponsorship and will be offering all under 12’s a free season ticket if they donate their old kit. They have set themselves a target of collecting 10,000+ items of kit and tried to register it […]
