Fund has now reached £575 - fantastic effort in a short period of time. Well done to everybody that has contributed so far. There is still time to participate.
As Paul Hodgson has highlighted on the Fans Page, given the recent negative press that has been attributed to Morecambe Fans due to the actions of a minority it's worth noting just some of the fan lead activities - primarily driven by the Shrimps Trust (growing membership approaching 700 btw).
Ticket for Morecambe Supporters In Need - Go Fund Me campaign that raised over £2k towards season tickets. These are distributed weekly to different organisations and families facing financial hardship, so that they have the opportunity to attend games and do not feel excluded from our community lead club.
Memorial Supporters Match for Christain Mbulu between Morecambe and Motherwell fans, organised by Nicky Clarke.
Collections for Lancashire Mind + Morecambe Bay Foodbank (£250 each).
Annual Toy Appeal in aid of children spending time in RLI this festive period, in addition to families in the locality that are struggling financially.
Poppy Wreath laid in honour for our fallen as part of the clubs remembrance service, impeccably lead by serviceman Jason Towson who has been instrumental alongside the club director James Wakefield in the club signing the Armed Forces Covenant.
Foodbank Collection vs. Fleetwood this coming Saturday - please support this if you can
MFC Website: Shrimps FoodbankThe club is right to highlight the behavior of a few individuals through recent statements, but equally we should sing from the roof tops about all the positive aspects that demonstrate what being a Morecambe supporter is about. We are not very good at this!
* The above examples are just a selection of the fan lead projects that I am aware of, it does not include any of the excellent work that goes on as part of MFC Community Sports.
