The Dale Trust, the Football Club and Football in the Community are delighted to announce that for the third season in succession, we will be running a sponsored walk to Oldham ahead of our game at Boundary Park on Saturday 18th November.
It has been decided that this year, all funds from the walk will go towards Rochdale Food Bank – something absolutely at the heart of our community and doing great things for some of the most vulnerable people in town.
In addition, this year we are offering all walkers the chance to raise money online using the form below. Email us at info@daletrust.co.uk if you would like to be added to that list. The Trust has decided to pay the Paypal fees of all donations, so all monies received will be donated in full to the Food Bank. You can download a more traditional sponsor form by clicking here
As always, the walk is open to one and all, and if you would like to join us for the social side of things without raising money, you’ll be more than welcome to do so.
