Upon receipt of a used ticket for the Barnsley match from a homeless person, St George’s Crypt will provide a hot meal and the opportunity to talk to a member of staff. It’s hoped that as well as providing a free meal for those in need, the initiative will also increase awareness around the plight of the homeless of Leeds. Leeds United managing director David Haigh said: “As a football club we believe we have a real and continuing responsibility to the wider community. The problems of homelessness are always with us but they are thrown into even starker relief Christmas time. “We urge all our fans to buy a match ticket and then find a homeless person who will then get a free meal simply by presenting it at St George’s Crypt, an organisation which deserves support for the fantastic job it does within the City. We will also be inviting our fans to contribute to a collection for St George’s Crypt around the stadium on Saturday.” Cheryl Harrington, Lead Fundraiser at St George’s Crypt said: “Many of our service users, volunteers and staff are big Leeds United fans, we are delighted with the continued support we are receiving from the club.” The match tickets will be valid for redemption against a hot meal for a homeless person until 31 January 2014. They can be redeemed in the same way as the Give Me Some Credit Vouchers for a hot meal; Monday to Friday at 12noon at St George’s Crypt. _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] John 'Grampa' Sykes Rest In Peace old lad 28th Oct 1938 - 12 Nov 2013 MARCHING ON TOGETHER
