Durham Women FC will be dedicating their upcoming fixture with Sunderland to The PFC Trust.
The local charity will be at the front and centre of the match day experience in what is set to be a sold-out River Wear Derby on Sunday, November 5.
The PFC Trust, who are based in Hartlepool, focus all the fantastic work they do in having a positive impact on people’s lives across the North-East.
Although The PFC Trust was founded by Patrick and Frances Connolly to support and enrich the lives of all sections of the community where they lived for 25 years, the Trust is actually the work of a group of likeminded and dedicated people whose purpose is to help community groups achieve their goals, fulfil their ambitions and reach their potential.
The aim of the Trust is to support, and help become sustainable, projects within the community which are already delivering services which enhance the life experiences of their service users.
And you can help them in doing that by getting involved with our dedicated fixture.
Volunteers from the charity will be on-hand with collection buckets, so please bring some spare change and donate to this worthy cause.
You’ll also see the charity logo across the match day: in our match day programme, on signage, and on our mascots – who will be from Newton Aycliffe Youth after they won a competition run in conjunction between the club and The PFC Trust.
If you can’t make it to the game, you can support the PFC Trust by texting PFCGIVE and a donation amount (e.g. PFCGIVE 5 to donate £5) to 70085.
Frances Connolly said: “We all know how hard it is for people these days during difficult financial times for many and we aim to do what we can to help at the PFC Trust. We are grateful for any support we receive and rest assured that whatever money the PFC Trust raises goes back into helping others.
“The River Wear Derby promises to be an exciting fixture and it is special for us to be part of that with Durham Women. We are proud to be supporting Durham Women through the PFC Trust and also with our company the Plastic Furniture Company.”
