Need a home for your unwanted but useable football shirts? Help football
in Africa by supporting the Five Live Shirt Amnesty.
Sven Goran Erikkson, Claudio Ranieri
and a host of Premiership stars and managers have already backed the
Shirt Amnesty.
Five Live are asking their listeners to send clean, useable football
shirts from any team and any era, as long the shirts are in reasonable
condition. The shirts will then be sent to Africa.
Football shirts are expensive in Africa and outside the pocket of most
people, so giving a clean, useable shirt helps footballers in Africa
and is a huge morale booster.
Radio Five Live has teamed up with Sport Relief, DHL, Locker Freight
Ltd and the Football Association to organise the amnesty - to which
last year over 25,000 shirts were donated.
The aim is to top that record this year. Clean, useable shirts can
be donated by sending them to: Five Live Shirt Amnesty, Locker Freight
Ltd, Haleview Road, Huyton, Liverpool L36 3DD.
Shirts can be donated until the end of July.
Notes to Editors
There will be other ways to donate shirts announced later this summer.
