Sporting Memories - Christmas Party

The Sporting Memories group had their Christmas party on Thursday 11th December; they had a special visit from some of the Dagenham & Redbridge players and brought joy and laughter to many within the group.

Players Visit Oxlow Bridge School

On Friday 12th December, various Dagenham & Redbridge first-team players visited a local school. They visited Oxlow Bridge School. This is a small school that has been designed specifically for pupils with profound and multiple learning difficulties. They spent some time with the children before handing out some gifts.

EASST MATCH FUNDING

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. Last 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.

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

Donations can be made on the Just Giving page by clicking HERE.

In addition to the above funding, EASST has given the Trust a further £5,000 to make up the shortfall brought about by the Club's relegation to the National League South.

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

The Essex and Southend Sports Trust (EASST) provides charitable grants in support of sport and in particular football and cricket. The geographical area in which it operates is strictly limited to the County of Essex (including the unitary authorities of Southend-on-sea and Thurrock and the London boroughs of Havering, Redbridge, Barking and Dagenham, Newham and Waltham Forest) .
