THUMBS UP TO OUR RAF CHARITY PARTNERS FOR THEIR GREAT WORK!

A team of airmen from RAF Shawbury completed an epic visit to Kenya. Pictured in Africa's largest slum, Kibera, in Nairobi the appeal is run by Sqn Ldr Neil Hope and has to date delivered over 41,500 items, including over 17,500 football shirts to 34 countries worldwide, with by far the most ending up in Kenya. Well done guys, keep up the good work!

OUR CHARITY PARTNER ABOUT TO VISIT KENYA

All the best to our charity partner, the RAF's Taking Football to Africa and Beyond. Neil Hope and the team fly out to Nairobi on 11 June to visit orphanages and slum schools greatly in need of donations.
