This year will see the first ever U21 European Deaf Football Championships being held in Poland in August. Great Britain will be sending a team to compete in the tournament but to do this we need to raise much needed funds.

Great Britain Deaf Football is a voluntary organisation and all of the staff and players involved are self funding. We have an overall target of £25,000 to raise before the tournament in August so to help us reach this target each player and staff member will be challenged to raise £1,000. This money will go towards the cost of flights, accommodation, travel, facilities, kits etc.

I was appointed as Manager of the GB Deaf Football U23 Development Squad in May 2014 and the squad was established to develop young Deaf players to feed into the Mens Team. We have an intensive training programme leading up to the tournament in August and we have a very committed team of young players who are determine to fulfil their potential. I would really appreciate your support in reaching my £1,000 target.

Any donation you could offer, no matter how large or small, would be much appreciated.

Many thanks for your support.
