Following on from the work done by Sheffield FC and their charity Boots for Africa North Gawber are now following suit and making their own collection of old football boots for Africa. Gawbers

To help spread the word of North Gawber JFC we have now setup our own Facebook site.  The site itself is monitored on a daily basis by one of the players parents and will be used to notify friends of updates to our website as well as live text updates on match days including all the goals as they’re scored as well half time and full time scores. If you want to be a friend then simply go on Facebook and search for North Gawber.

Finding sponsorship for any football team or club is never easy but now theres an opportunity for us all to raise money for North Gawber and it won’t cost a penny.

We now have our own webshop setup through www.buy.at which we can use to generate commission from purchases we make at stores on the internet.  All you have to do is visit www.buy.at/northgawberjfc and then select the store you want to buy from.  On the completion of your purchase a percentage of the sale in the form of commission will be credited to our webshop.  Any commission we make over £20 in one month goes straight into our bank account.  If we don’t make more than £20 in one month then the total rolls over to the next month.  The commission percentage can be from as little as 2% to as much as 35% dependent on the store and the purchase.  Below are some of the stores we can use.

Granted 2% commission on a £15.99 DVD purchase isn’t much but if we can encourage family and friends to use our webshop then we could raise a substantial amount, especially in the run up to christmas.

efforts are hoped to help to develop the skills and fitness of aspiring disadvantaged children in Africa, and provide more children with the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful game. To donate simply clean our boots, tie them together with the laces and bring them along to one of our home matches for collection.  Collections will take place throughout the season with a delivery to Africa planned for spring of 2011.
