Story
Last week we completed a 'Football Card' and the support for our football club and the NHS was overwhelming and very much appreciated. The reality is that we need to continue to be proactive if we want the football club to survive the current pandemic as well as make sure that everybody stays safe and continues to stay home and support each other and the NHS.
With this in mind we have spoken to managers and players from all six teams and as a club have planned a challenge that anybody associated with that team or the club can get involved with, whether you are a player, manager, coach, fan, committee member, even if you have had a previous relationship with the club and want a way to stay busy and active we welcome all to get involved. If you wish to join one of the challenges, please get in touch and we will link you to the lead of the particular challenge you wish to be a part of.
We are also taking this opportunity to continue to support our NHS by splitting all donations 50/50 with our NHS and supporting the amazing work taking place during these difficult times, in which without them this would be so much more challenging for everybody.
We are also planning an event at Kidlington Football Club for when we have beaten COVID-19 for the whole community to get involved in. This will be a free event in which we want to give something back for all those who have supported us as well as bring everybody together. .
