We do hope that everyone who has contributed to this fund will support the great causes that your donations will really help. Many Thanks Mark

The other half of the money will go to Swindon Town FC Community Foundation and be spent on giving children and their families the opportunity to have a match day package at Swindon Town FC. This will allow over 300 children to enjoy a professional coaching session, have a pre-match lunch and then watch a first team match at the County Ground. The Community Foundation will work in partnership with local schools to identify the children and families that are in financial hardship, like Joe’s story.

With us not being able to find Joe, we discussed possible options to utilise this money raised and support children who are in a similar position to Joe. We would like to give half of the money to the Swindon Food Collective that are an independent food bank in Swindon and currently feed nearly 7500 people per year, of which one-third of these are children.
