Leighton Woodside are turning 50 years old, to celebrate this we are holding a charity football match with our local friends and partners.
Leighton Woodside FC along with V24 Football Academy, Leighton Town FC & our local charity Freddie & Friends are taking part in a charity football match at Leighton Town’s ground on Sunday, April 27, between Leighton Woodside FC Coaches v V24 Coaches, with Local Lad Luke Pyman playing for V24 alongside some other young local footballers past and present of Leighton Town FC.
Leighton Woodside, V24 & Leighton Town all know how important the local community is, football has a huge role to play in Leighton Buzzard, so this event will be very special for everyone involved and the wider community,
This will also be a fund raising day for our very local Charity, Freddie & Friends.
Their journey
Founded by Katie & Jo in 2017. They wanted to create a safe place for people with Special needs and disabilities (SEND) and their family and friends in Leighton Buzzard.
They found a significant lack of opportunities for our children, to access groups like others their age could, they set out to provide SEND activity sessions in the school holidays and a weekly parent/carer groups too.
Also providing community events they helped provide changing places facilities and have worked with our local town council to have a permanent changing places installed alongside an inclusive playground in the centre of town.
More recently we started a Community hub, providing a safe place for everyone.
Freddie & Friends are a Community Interest Company (CIC) number: 10609690
Please come along and help support Freddie and Friends, as a non-profit organization, they rely on the generosity of donors like you to continue our important work.
Funds raised during the Leighton Woodside charity Football match will go directly towards Freddie & Friends, covering running costs and investing in new equipment.
