2 years ago today we raised £1.5 million for the Foundation enabling us to do so much more than we ever could have imagined. Thank you to those who supported me then and who continue support us in all of our efforts today 🙌🏼👍🏼
1023 pairs and counting 👣Wow ✨⚽️
So what’s next? All the boots will be cleaned, sized and re-laced, with the aim of distributing before Christmas.
The boots will be given to the children in our Carricks Street Reds programme and other Street Reds programmes in Manchester 🐝
Not every child has the opportunity to learn and grow in a safe, supportive and inspiring environment. If you believe that every child should have a chance to thrive please contact us to find out how you can join Club 16 and inspire the next generation 💫
