CHRIS FIDLER CYCLES IN MEMORY OF HIS NEPHEW - CHARLIE

We would like to thank Chris Fidler who will be raising sponsorship for us by cycling all the way from Somerset to Kings Langley in Hertfordshire on 14 April. Chris is raising funds in memory of his nephew, Charlie Fidler, and KitAid is proud to be associated with this event. We will post some photos of the trip as soon as we receive them and if you would like to sponsor Chris please do so via the link to his Virgin Money Giving site.

Check out our Annual Review - it's been a fantastic season packed full of new contacts, new donations, new helpers, new recipients and a great deal of pride that we're doing a great job and working with some really great charities and voluntary organisations to support the valuable heath and development work that they do too.

Thanks to you all!

CHESHAM UTD BECOME KITAID'S FIRST AMBASSADOR CLUB SUPPORTER

After years of supporting KitAid, Chesham United FC has become the charity's first Ambassador Club Supporter.

Alan Calder, chairman of Chesham United, said: “We are very pleased to have been invited to launch the Ambassador Club scheme and as a community based club it fits in really well with the way we work.

“We have supported KitAid for some time now and love to see the pictures of our old kit being used in countries like Zambia and Bulgaria. We know that our supporters are behind the project as well, as they have donated a lot of shirts at the collection days we have held.

“I am sure the idea will catch on with a lot of different clubs all across the country.”
