‘The Greatest Season of All’ creates an opportunity for fans to come together with the Club to help empower healthier lives with city youth through football.
For every purchase a fan makes from a range of selected Christmas retail items, available online and in the City Store, the Club will donate £5 to its charity, City in the Community (registered charity no. 1139229)*.
This year’s Christmas retail shop is open now, in store and online, featuring new festive gifts for 2023. Items which include a £5 donation to City in the Community through the Christmas campaign are:
- Five Christmas jumpers
- Family Pyjama set
- Dressing gown and Oodie
- Plush Santa teddy bear
- Treble book
- Treble football
- Brown and blue plush teddies
- Moonbeam and Moonchester
- Four player Funko pops
Manchester City is also trebling any additional donations made to the charity, to help increase overall funds up to the value of £75,000*.
Fans can donate at the tills in the stadium store, when checking out online during their purchase journey for match tickets, or via the charity’s new monthly ‘City in the Community Prize Draw.’
All funds will go towards supporting City in the Community’s programmes, which all aim to empower healthier lives with city youth through football. Every £10 raised will enable a young person to enjoy the equivalent of four hours of free football and a healthy lunch in the school holidays in 2024 and beyond.
WE WILL TREBLE IT, WHEN YOU DONATE £5 VIA OUR NEW PRIZE DRAW !
Commenting on the launch, Head of City in the Community, Michael Geary, said:
“We are delight that the Club has, once again, committed to making a difference in the local area by supporting its charity. By teaming up with the fans, this campaign will have a significant impact on our ability to empower healthier lives through football.
“’The Greatest Season of All’ encapsulates the community values of Manchester City and builds on upon the success of last year’s festive campaign, which generated over £190,000 for City in the Community, enabling young people to play football, stay healthy and make new friends in 2023.
“City in the Community will also be delivering a calendar of festive activities in December to support families who need it most. This includes donating free Christmas Day meals to foodbanks and welcoming hundreds of local people to the City Football Academy for various celebrations.”
City in the Community supports city youth to empower healthier lives through football. Supporting people across Greater Manchester since 1986, programmes place physical and mental wellbeing at their core, whilst also creating healthy futures and healthy communities.
