FOOTBALL SHIRTS FOR CHARITY AIMS TO HELP FIGHT AGAINST CANCER
AN organisation that is dedicated to selling football shirts from around the globe is sending all profits to contribute to vital charities.
Football Shirts For Charity, established by Jayme Sporton and Tania Harding, provides kits from all walks of football life all the way from international teams to local non-league sides.
The duo said: “Football is the national sport that transcends all generations and all walks of life. It is a very special community that provides belonging and togetherness.
“As massive football fanatics and having both been affected by cancer in people very close to us, we saw an opportunity to do something about it. We wanted to do something different. We established Football Shirts For Charity.”
The group is, they say, dedicated exclusively to selling retro, preloved and vintage football shirts from all over the world whether it be international teams, or local nonleague football.
“Our strapline is that Every Shirt Has A Story,” Jayme and Tania said.
“The sight of any football shirt always evokes so many special memories and conversations.
“Football Shirts For Charity was born from the love of knowing the pride in securing ownership of a pre-loved, historic, retro or vintage football shirt, whilst also contributing to vital charities.”
100% of the profits made by the organisation are donated to charity, with the main beneficiaries being The Bobby Moore Fund and Cancer
Research UK.
Jayme and Tania continued: “The future success of our organisation obviously depends on our capacity to secure football shirts and associated kit from generous donations.
“If somebody has a spare football shirt they no longer wear and are in a position to donate it to us, this can be put to very good use.
“Shirts can be sent to us directly, or we can collect them if we can.
“People can use the contact us form on the website for an address, or to discuss anything else for that matter. We really love to engage with the football community - and hear other people’s great ideas.” ■ For more information, visit: www. footballshirtsfc.co.uk
