Working alongside Manchester United and its partners, the Foundation delivered a wide range of gifts and programmes to provide extensive support to young people and families who may be experiencing hardship this winter.
Warm clothing items were generously gifted by Manchester United and its partner adidas before the Christmas break, shortly followed by 1,000 slow cookers and 8,600 hats, gloves and scarves by the Foundation. An investment of £60,000 was made in the slow cookers, hats, gloves and scarves, meaning items could be distributed across the Foundation’s 64 partner primary, secondary and special educational needs schools.
The schools will redistribute the items to deserving pupils and families, with some schools utilising the slow cookers within lessons, to teach their pupils how to use them.
