For the last 4 years we have had a tenuous link with another great charity who arrange for a plane load of children from Belarus, who still are affected by the Chernobyl radiation fall out, to spend a month in the UK with host families. Through our link with Affinity Water we arrange for them […]
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 […]

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 […]
