Statements from Club Leaders
Keith Hannah, Chair of ESCEM, said: “Football has always been about more than what happens on the pitch. It’s about friendship, community, shared experiences, and supporting those who need it most. These donations reflect those values and the generosity our members have shown throughout the year. We’d like to thank everyone who has contributed.”
Colin Drury, treasurer of the club, added: “These donations are only possible thanks to the continued support of our members. Through subscriptions, fundraising initiatives, and the hard work of volunteers, we can both sustain the club and give something back to the wider community.”
