Win a signed Leicester City Shirt!
As Leicester City look to defend the FA Cup they so brilliantly won in May 2021, we’re delighted to announce that we have two City Shirts - signed by the team for the Community Shield - available as part of our January fundraising event in aid of our Sport Sessions here at The Bridge Homelessness to Hope.
The first shirt will be available via auction and the second shirt will be available via a prize draw.
Money raised from the contactless giving points across the city will contribute to a variety of support programmes run by The Bridge Homelessness to Hope, which aim to achieve long-lasting change for vulnerable people in our community.
Do you have any unwanted or unneeded gifts from Christmas? Support the homeless & vulnerably housed in Leicester by donating your unwanted presents to The Bridge Homelessness to Hope.
Some will be re-gifted & some will be sold, with any money raised going towards the much-needed work we do.
Please, email hello@bridgeleicester.org if you wish to donate your gifts to us.
