CHERNOBYL LINK VISIT TO VEOLIA WATER EDUCATION CENTRE

Following a donation of England shirts to the Chiltern group of the Chernobyl Link Project, the visiting children were invited along to Veolia Water's Education Centre in Bushey.

The children had a fantastic time enjoying the nature trail and pond dipping and also left with some more football tops donated by PUMA.  

Thanks to Veolia Water for hosting the visit.

BALLYSILLAN YFC, BELFAST

KitAid sponsored a fantastic week-long football camp for the second year running in Ballysillan, North Belfast.  The project is run by Peter Thompson along with 30 volunteer coaches. Petere does a fantastic job bringing children together from different backgrounds.  

Steve Johnson and Derrick Williams from KitAid visited on the final day of the camp and took part in the infamous gauntlet run, where 50 kids fire footballs at the coaches as they run down a narrow channel.  Northern Ireland won the World Cup final on penalties against last year's winners, Togo.  

Well done to Peter and his team for another brilliant week.

Thanks for your continued support.

20,000 KITS DONATED THIS YEAR

Many thanks to our amazing Boxing Team for their help this morning. It was hot and tiring, but we still managed to set a new record of 109 boxes leaving the building in Hatfield for South Africa, Burkina Faso, Gambia and Nepal. Not bad for a few hours work!

This brings the total amount sent out in 2010 to exactly 500 boxes, approximately 20,000 items of kit. At this rate we should easily beat last year's final figure of 725 boxes.

Thanks to Sean McGuigan who got in extra early (07.30am) to meet the guy who drops off the boxes.
