SIR I am writing to tell your readers about a football-themed fundraising initiative taking place during the World Cup to raise funds for a very special children's charity.
It is hoped that, with the public's support, Big Goal' will create fundraising fever throughout the UK in support of The Children's Trust, a national charity which provides care, education and therapy for children with multiple disabilities and complex health needs.
I wish to appeal to businesses, pubs, sports clubs, community groups and all football fans everywhere to raise money through a variety of football-related fundraising activities during the World Cup.
A Big Goal' information pack is available free from Angie, at the Trust, on 01737 265022, or e-mail: TheBigGoal@thechildrenstrust.org.uk. The pack can also be downloaded from The Children's Trust website at: www.thechildrenstrust. org.uk The Children's Trust aims to score a Big Goal target of £10,000. All the money raised will go towards the Trust's current appeal, which needs funds to make vital improvements to its residential accommodation for children receiving rehabilitation, to help them recover from an acquired brain injury.
Robbie Earle, On behalf of The Children's Trust, Tadworth, Surrey
