Popular Post kiwicolin Posted September 21, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 We went to the Senior REDS lunch today ,and had a lovely meal. There were two city staff there talking about the what they do with the leftover food on away matches. As you probably know that the left over food goes to the homeless shelters in the town / city that we are playing. Apparently it all started with Josh Brownhill , as he and his family on Christmas day go out and take food to the homeless . This gave Matt Parson and the players an idea that they wanted to help in some way. So they now do this on every away game. At home games the club take all the extra food from the consessions ,and take it to a charity. This got the Senior Reds thinking and wanted to do something. They raised £500 in about 10 minutes. Then then committee matched it , raising £1000. This will be going to a Bristol charity. Well done 33 3 3 23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a really good number, for some reason I thought it would be less than half of that. No wonder they never seem to advertise for new members, they don't need to!

Frenchay Red Posted September 21, 2023 Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 (edited) Jerry also gave a stadium tour at 10am for those who were interested. It was very interesting and a real eye opener for those like me who have generally only experienced the concourse and seating part of the new stadium Edited September 21, 2023 by Frenchay Red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Parsons said that he was going to give the money collected today to Jasper who runs a homeless charity. Google suggests this is him and I expect they would be grateful for any direct donations…….. https://helpbristolshomeless.org/about-us/ 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
