Stars from Fulham FC’s women’s and men’s first teams visited The Children’s Trust this week.
Anisha Hill, Alex Hayman along with Kenny Tete, Saša Lukić, Adama Traore and Harry Wilson spent time with the families, bringing festive cheer to children with brain injury and neurodisability.
The players and staff from Fulham FC Foundation had a tour of the charity’s Surrey site, including a visit to the state-of-the-art paediatric brain injury rehabilitation centre, the largest service of its kind in the UK.
The group had the opportunity to join in some therapy sessions for children and visit the Trust’s school and residential house for children with complex needs.
“At Fulham FC Foundation we believe it’s important to stop and reflect at this time of year, offering support to those in the community that need it the most,” said Mike McSweeney, Chief Executive Officer at the Fulham FC Foundation.
The club also generously donated a voucher which will help the charity purchase new sports equipment to aid children’s physical therapy and rehabilitation.
“We would like to thank the Fulham FC Foundation for their continued support of The Children’s Trust,” said Mike Thiedke, Chief Executive at The Children’s Trust.
“Their visit brought lots of joy to the children who are here for vital rehabilitation over the festive period. We are grateful to the players and staff for their donation, which will enable us to buy vital sports equipment to support the children’s rehabilitation.”
