We must give a mention to a young member of Tesco's staff ..KIERREN, who after finishing his shift at the store joined in with us collecting for the last hour. MANY THANKS TO HIM xx

The 1066 SPECIALS is a football/fun club for Children from 5 years to 50 years with disabilities and special needs.
We currently have a membership of approx 100.
Every penny goes towards the running of the club. All our qualified coaches are volunteers.No highly paid executives.
We also have a team of helpers (all unpaid) and Fundraisers (of which I'm one)
Plus we have a whole load of local businesses who support us, with donations and supplying goods for our raffles and other fundraising events.
We were chosen by Sainsbury's Bexhill Branch as their "Local Charity of the year ". This is one of their ways of giving something back to the local community.
