Meet the players at Leighton Town FC’s charity match to support men’s mental health
Don’t miss the chance to meet the players at a charity match in aid of a men’s mental health charity supported by Leighton Town FC.
The hospitality event will be held on Saturday, March 14, at the club’s game v Leverstock Green FC, with the aim of raising much-needed funds for local men's mental health charity 'Walk and Talk'.
The event will include a pre-match two-course meal and the opportunity to meet players, manager and coaches after the game along with networking with other local businesses.
A spokesperson for the club said: “This is a great opportunity to enjoy what promises to be a competitive game, a good lunch, drinks, an opportunity to meet the players and manager and to network with other local businesses. I do hope that you can join us on 14 March.
"We're delighted to report that the First Team are sitting proudly on top of the Southern League Central Division and look certain to make the play-offs at least. They are playing an attractive brand of football and are looking strong. Crowds are continuing to grow and we are currently averaging 500+ since November.”
“Off the pitch the club has a very robust community programme and, as well as housing a number of local clubs/societies and organisations, we support three local volunteer charities: 'Hospice at Home', 'Freddie and Friends' (a local children's special needs charity) and 'Walk and Talk', (a men's mental health charity), all who do so much outstanding work in the community.”
It’s also been a busy time behind the scenes with a number of projects completed to enhance facilities at the ground and clubhouse. These include the installation of a new irrigation system to improve the quality of the pitch, a refurbishment of the Reds Bar, replacement of fencing on the East side of the stadium. The perimeter pathway has also been reinstated to restore the club’s four-sided-ground status, along with some significant signage work to the South stand.
"The ground and clubhouse look impressive and none of this would have been possible without the help of our amazing partners/sponsors,” the spokesperson added.
