Once again, the Essex and Southend Sports Trust (EASST) has generously stepped in to support the Daggers Trust. We need £25,000 each year to run our Kickstart4Kids football programme which replaced the PL Kicks sessions when the PLCF funding was cut after the Club's relegation from the EFL. In the first year, with the support of fans, families, the players, local companies and the Club, we were able to raise £7,500 in match funding in one month to add to the £17,500 donation provided by EASST.  We raised a similar amount last year in Match Funding.

EASST has offered the Daggers Trust the same deal this year and we are now seeking to raise £7,500 in match funding. 

We are currently close to 50% of this target. After the Club donated the match worn yellow shirts to the Trust, an auction was held online and the sale of these shirts raised £2,500 towards the EASST Match Funding total. Thank you to everyone who took part. The Trust entered a competition called 'Hackathon', this was a competition where multiple groups had the task of selling tickets for our 'Quids In' Open Day fixture against Chesham, The Trust outperformed all of the other competitors, selling over 50% of the tickets and claiming the £1,000 prize offered by Tixr, thank you to everyone that bought tickets and helped us win the prize.

We cannot find  words sufficiently good enough to thank EASST for their continued support and generosity.
