"The boys are always bringing teammates along to find out more about the work that they do and meet the local patrons.

“Christmas is one of the most difficult times of the year for disadvantaged communities, but if we can make a difference to even one person’s day this Christmas by providing a hot meal, a gift, and a chat, then it will have been worth it.

“The Club’s supporters have been extremely generous in donating food, clothes and toys at previous matches, and going out into the community to deliver these items is the really rewarding part.”
