My story
For those of you that know me, I’m mad on football. That’s why I jumped at the chance to join a number of my colleagues from Ernst & Young to travel to the Gambia to deliver much needed equipment and take part in football matches for the charity Football Gambia.
Football Gambia is a UK registered charity set up to assist the young people of Gambia with basic education. The charity provides basic equipment for schools and then uses football as a vehicle to promote and encourage kids to stay in school by promoting a healthy lifestyle, the provision of football equipment and coaching.
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Football Gambia gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
Your money will ensure Gambian schools receive much needed notepads, pencils and books whilst the football academies will receive coaching manuals, balls, bibs and cones
I would ask therefore that you dig deep, blow the dust off your purses or wallets and sponsor me for such a great cause
Many thanks
My charity

You're the one that needs help Matt. In Gambia they're all doing fundraising to help "the poor Welshmen" to live as much of a normal life as possible.
