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.
The three-day route took cyclists from Ebbsfleet International to Dover, Dover to Brighton and Brighton to London Waterloo, raising vital funds to support vulnerable children.
