KitAid is a charity set up by, Derrick Williams MBE, who visited Tanzania on a WaterAid supporters’ trip in 1998. Derrick, being a mad footie fan, was amazed at the reception he received from children and adults in remote villages just because he was wearing one of his favourite football shirts (he follows Watford, Liverpool and Chesham Utd).

After two weeks in Tanzania, a flame was lit in Derrick’s heart and he was on a mission to provide kit and equipment to the bare-footed children playing with footballs made of tied string and plastic bags. To date KitAid has sent out 1,000,000+ kits to children and adults in 55 different countries across the world.

Last season the club donated several boxes of old kit which were then distributed to children from disadvantaged backgrounds across Africa and South Asia.

This year, we are calling on our players, parents and members to support our second donation drive.

If you have any unwanted football kits at the back of the wardrobe please consider donating them to KitAid.

Throughout the month of September, a donation bin will be outside Trev's Bar for every 1st team and youth match day, and we hope to fill it a few times over for the charity to distribute to football fans across the world.
