I've raised £2500 to help support Families In Need (FIND), to offer a lifeline to local people in despair by providing food parcels and personal care items.

Story
Since March 2020, to say football has been 'stop start' is an understatement. It's a great outlet for players and supporters alike. Friendships are made on and off the pitch and sadly that interaction has had to be put on hold with the various Covid restrictions.
Whilst the players are staying fit, First Team manager, Leon Moore, came up with the idea of some friendly competition amongst the teams, whilst helping a good cause.
As a collective we can aim to run 2,000 miles in 4 weeks with a target of raising £1,000 at the same time.
The captain's of the First Team, Reserves, Under 18's and Ladies team will collect the stats from their respective players each week to see how far they have run. With apps and fitness trackers widely available it will be easy to get accurate figures and see which team comes out on top.
Donations will spur on the players to go that extra mile and being able to raise money for a charity such as FIND is will give a bigger sense of achievement. More and more people are finding that they are having to rely on foodbanks in the current climate and if we can hit the target it will be a big help for them to continue the great work they do.
