Watford FC have organised a community event open to all this November, to raise vital funds for our work supporting children around the world.
Date: 27th October 2021
COVID-19 continues to destroy lives and livelihoods around the globe.
As a charity we’re adapting to new and complex situations without losing sight of our role in keeping some of the world’s most vulnerable children safe.
Watford FC have pledged to support our work with vulnerable children and their families following the pandemic, and will be raising vital funds by hosting a 24-hour charity football marathon. This is part of a new partnership with the football club’s Community Sports and Education Trust.
The event will take place on Saturday, 13th November from 12pm to 2pm at The Dome, Watford FC Training Ground, and is suitable for all members of the community.
There are time slots available for various age-groups, disability football groups and both women’s and men’s teams.
Railway Children will join partners from the Rooted Futures collaboration at the 2026 Skoll World Forum to lead an interactive session on family strengthening and child protection reform.
Over 200 supporters from the rail industry raised more than £60,000 at Railway Children’s Night At The Station event, spending a night in stations across the UK to protect vulnerable children at risk.
Through our flagship youth participation programme, Youth Platform, young people are shaping our training materials, influencing key decisions and ensuring the rail industry truly understand youth vulnerability.
No child wants to survive on the streets. And, through understanding and empowerment, together, we can ensure no child has to.
