Aylesbury United FC have handed a cheque of more than £1,000 to help improve equipment at two Buckinghamshire hospitals.
The Green and White army donated a total of £1,398.78 to the their charity partner, the Ducklings Trust, which raises money for equipment and to help improve the environment in the maternity units at Stoke Mandeville and High Wycombe hospitals,
Each season the club selects a local charity as its charity partner and partnered with The Ducklings Trust during the 2019/20 and 2020/21 campaign, which were both curtailed by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Andy Martin, chairman of 21st Century Ducks, the Aylesbury United Supporters’ Trust, and a club director, said: “We’re delighted to finally be able to present the charity with the money donated by our supporters, and hope it contributes to their goal of raising enough for a state of the art birthing pool facility.”
The bulk of the money was raised by supporters through a sponsored walk in October 2020 from the club’s former home in Aylesbury, Buckingham Road, to The Meadow in Chesham, where the first team currently plays.
