1874 Northwich Spread Some Festive Cheer
Thu 10th December 2015 | 1874 Northwich | By Ian Templeman
1874 Northwich supporters have once again answered the club's call to support local causes.
Last weekend the club once again appealed for donations to Mid Cheshire Food Bank, and asked for Christmas selection boxes to be donated to enable the Food Bank to spread a little Christmas cheer to the children they support.
An amazing 159 selection boxes and 54 other chocolate gifts were donated by supporters attending the game against Atherton Collieries, and other financial contributions meant that the Community Team could buy more selection boxes after the match.
Phil Burgess, the club's Community Team representative commented: "I have to say that our supporters have stepped up to support this cause again - we did not push it, but everyone showed what a generous spirit and heart they have.
"We were totally amazed by the quantity that was collected, a massive thank you and Merry Christmas to everyone".
Meanwhile, at the recent 1874 Christmas party, representatives of 1874 Northwich FC Community Team were pleased to present a cheque to the NeuroMuscular Centre.
Debbie Leather, a Trustee of the charity and 1874 Northwich supporter, accepted the cheque for £250 from Community Team members Philip Burgess and Stephen Richardson.
The money was raised following a collaboration between 1874 Northwich FC and Moulton Drama Group. All profits raised by ticket sales to 1874 Northwich supporters at the opening night of the local drama group's latest production, were donated to NeuroMuscular Centre.
