Kickstart4Kids Match Funding
YOUR TRUST NEEDS YOU
The Daggers Trust supports members of the local community, particularly young children, in a variety of different ways. Free fun football sessions at Goals Dagenham on a Tuesday and Thursday evening have been a regular feature for well over ten years, funded by the Premier League Charitable Fund and the National League Trust. The Daggers Trust was recently able to secure further generous funding from the Essex and Southend Sports Trust (EASST) for 2025. In order to secure the £25,000 grant, the Trust has to raise £7,500 in ‘match funding’ and this is where we need your help.
In addition to the Trust’s own fund raising, the normal 50/50 half time draw tomorrow will be replaced with a one off raffle to raise funds for the Trust. The winner can choose between a Mascot Package for this season (Value £150) or two hospitality packages (Value £130) which have been generously donated by the Dagenham & Redbridge FC Community Trust Chairman. Tickets will be available from ticket sellers, both inside the ground and the clubhouse. The draw will take place at half time.
The Trust has set up a JustGiving Page accepting donations towards our Match Funding Target. If you would like to make a donation to this fantastic cause, please scan the QR Code or use the following link: bit.ly/DTJGP
Your support will provide opportunities for local children to participate in healthy exercise, have fun and make new friends.
