MU Foundation and supporters’ clubs to help youth charities
The pledge to Supporters’ Clubs follows other initiatives by the Foundation in response to the pandemic that have been focused on local communities across Greater Manchester. These have included:
• £300,000 donation to the Foundation’s partner schools aimed at assisting vulnerable families with food, clothing, energy, medication, IT equipment and other essentials
• Supply of activity packs and sports equipment to thousands of children to the value of £50,000
• Provision of 60,000 meals for NHS staff working on the frontline of the COVID-19 response at hospitals in Manchester and Salford
• Food bank donations
The £1m of funding for these projects came from last year’s Treble Reunion match at Old Trafford to mark the 20th anniversary of the UEFA Champions League victory over Bayern Munich, underpinned by ongoing support for the Foundation from Manchester United Football Club.
