Story

Deanshanger Colts under 7's football team have taken inspiration from Captain Tom and decided to work together to raise money for a charity who are supporting those who are vulnerable or self isolating in their local area. Whilst observing social distancing rules they will each endeavour to "travel" 7 miles in 7 days by foot, bike or scooter starting on Monday the 18th of May 2020. They will be raising money for The Community Larder who are working hard to distribute food parcels to those who are vulnerable or in need within the South Northants area. The team know that many people are finding the current situation difficult but if you could spare a few pennies to support this thoughtful initiative then they would be extremely grateful.
