We have sponsored the week long footy camp again this year and we are really pleased to keep our link with Peter Thompson going. A small team from KitAid will be visiting the project for the final day of the camp in July and we are looking forward to meeting Peter and his fantastic team […]
One of the things I really love about KitAid is our ability to operate on a shoestring budget, but at the same time, we are able to support partner charities. Our operating costs are about £3k per annum and as we have surplus funds from last year, we have decided to make 5 grants of […]
We have been approached by the supporters club of Airdrie who want to run a kit amnesty for us which they are linking in to a season ticket offer for local children. They also have good contacts with the Tartan Army, so there is scope for the kit amnesty to be widened to a much […]
You may have already seen some of the publicity for the annual Easter kit amnesty held by the Evo-stik Northern Premier League. There has been an article on their website and details have been sent to every club, along with a poster we designed for the event. Dave Watters, who is the press officer for […]

We attended a volunteer fair last week at the UoH and once again it proved really useful in terms of signing up some more helpers and spreading the word. Thanks to Carly Benton for the invite and to the graduate trainees from Affinity Water who very kindly “manned” the stand for us. I am really […]
Our friends from Stegota are desperately hoping to find a UK non league team who are more adventurous than most teams, to fund their own trip over to Kampala. They will be treated like royalty, apart from during the matches which will be highly competitive, and have a fantastic experience to boot. We have enlisted […]
I know that some of you are already fans but last week we saw an example of how powerful it can really be. We had a fantastic photo of kids in Kenya wearing new Watford shirts which we tweeted and then WFC re-tweeted to their 27k followers. Immediately the photo was being favourite, re-tweeted and […]
