Shirts off for the City

Tomorrow sees the launch of a "kitllection" for the Changaro Trust.

This is a project I've been involved in with the Supporters Trust in conjunction with Dermot Desmond, CPO and Eddie Kerr of seeds.ie.

Due to work I can't make it up tomorrow, but the Mayor will launch the scheme with representatives of the Supporters Trust as well as DCFC players and pupils from Oakgrove College.

The idea is to collect unwanted sports kit to help the Changaro Trust.  To learn more about the Changaro Trust check out their page on Seeds.  Following on from the inspirational example of the Glentoran Community Trust and their "Ghana Glens"  project, we'd thought we tried to follow their lead.

I spoke to Dermot about it and after a quick meeting with Eddie, we were up and running.  Kit can be donated at various venues around the City and it certainly is a worthy cause.  Although we are in tough times, we all have piles of gear lying about that we never wear.I've been lucky enough to visit Africa on a few occasions and the conditions make the "credit crunch" seem like a holiday camp.

It is certainly worth donating any gear you have lying about the house and hopefully we will be able to kit out a load of Kenyan kids in the beloved Candystripes.
