10 football-related fundraising feats

With the Lionesses making us all very proud, and football also a great way of raising funds for good causes, here are 10 ways teams, players and fans are doing just that.

Among them are Greenock Morton, which has become the first professional Scottish football side to carry the name of a Veteran’s charity on its shirts all season after announcing a new partnership with Erskine; a Norwich City fan whose fundraising efforts for Macmillan have gone viral after he was interviewed by The Pink Un, and an annual charity match that has raised £2,635 for Alice House Hospice.

Our next event will be the charity football match for the Firefighters charity if you live in and Ilkeston and fancy a laugh watching us play football come along no admission fee , just a charitable donation for the @firefighters999 #firefighters #ilkeston #football #charity pic.twitter.com/ICuXK2OCSM

Thank you to Lockys Legends for their charity football match in memory of Brendan Loughran! An amazing €13,600 was raised for our Tredagh Lodge Day Care Centre, which will go towards a new sensory garden. What an inspiring way to help those living with dementia. #DoItForDementia pic.twitter.com/eCLaxPkS1d
