A charity fundraising bucket collection for WELLCHILD will take place at the home league game with Frickley on 15th April.

The collection will be made by Anthony Chapman, who may well be dressed up specially for the occasion!!

Anthony will also shortly be running the 2017 London Marathon as part of his fundraising efforts for the charity.

Wellchild is a national charity for sick children. It is committed to helping young people and their families throughout the UK as they deal with the consequences of serious illness and complex conditions.

Astonishingly, there are over 4,500 recognised genetic conditions, many so rare that they have no name. While a lot of these conditions affect only a few children each, combined they add to thousands. Add to that the children whose lives are affected overnight by accidents and infections, and those living with more well known conditions, and the size of the problem becomes apparent.

Wellchild's aim is simple - working to improve the lives of seriously ill children, through care, support and research.

Please give as generously as you can!
