A group of young footballers on Teesside is hoping for token success in this year’s Wish campaign.
Based at Bishopsgarth School in Stockton, Hardwick Youth FC was first established back in 1994.
The club now has seven teams which compete in the Teesside Junior Football Alliance.
Having entered the Wish campaign before, the Under 14s used the money they received to buy new equipment such as footballs. In the past, the support the club has gained from Wish has also been put towards kit such as socks.
Following last year’s campaign, the club has been able to use the money they had left over to start a new kit fund.
This year the club is hoping that any money they receive from this year’s campaign will be put towards the cost of new kits.
Linda Smith, of the club, said: “We have made our current kit last two seasons so we are now raising funds to replace our kit for next season.”
Every year, The Gazette’s Wish campaign gives away thousands of pounds to not-for-profit groups and organisations benefiting the Teesside community.
To get involved, groups must first register online at http://ift.tt/XA3Wdt . All registered groups will receive confirmation in writing as well as a free starter pack to get supporters ready to start collecting tokens. Every registered group will be guaranteed a share of our £40,000 fund.
There are no losers in the Wish campaign but the aim is to collect as many tokens as possible. The more tokens a group collects, the bigger its share of the prize pot.
Tokens will start appearing in The Gazette on Monday, October 13, with the last token appearing on Wednesday, January, 21. Submissions for tokens will close at 5pm on Monday, February 23.
To help Hardwick Youth Under 14s, send your tokens to: 9 Tovil Close, Bishopsgarth, Stockton on Tees, Cleveland, TS19 8XH.
