Probably one of the biggest brands in world football and a club that wouldn’t normally work with small charities like KitAid. Well, thanks to our fantastic Patron, Graham received a call from the MUFC club secretary as their kit manager had held on to the letter Graham sent out to all 92 league clubs last year. […]

Barry started collecting for us in January 2012 and he has meticulously documented every item, where it came from. His spread sheet is like a who’s who of every school and […]
