This group of heroes took part in a charity match to help raise money for The Big Match cause, over £1500 raised. 😘⚽️⚽️⚽️ It was cold, the pitch was difficult, it’s Christmas and they took time out away from their families to help others. Yes they had fun and played a sport they love - no one said charity had to be boring - but it was at a time of year when money can be tight and time is precious. They all paid to play. We can’t thank them enough.
Special thanks must go to the team at Reading City FC for providing the venue and support and to our sponsors.
