As part of the EFL Week of Action, Barrow is partnering with Volunteer Zambia to collect used sports equipment for communities in Africa.
Volunteer Zambia is a unique international sport programme run by the Wallace Group – a collaboration between leading UK sport universities – to primarily support and work with the leading Zambian sports NGO, Sport in Action.
The club has organised a collection point in the club reception on Saturday prior to the game with Salford City. Collections will be welcome for footballs, boots, strips, training kit, cones, whistles, bibs etc.
Shining a light on the impact EFL Clubs have, EFL Week of Action campaign, takes place until tomorrow – and at relevant home games on Saturday.
Launched in 2017, the Week of Action sees Clubs and CCOs from across the EFL’s three divisions showcase some of the most impactful community projects with managers and players joining participants across the country.
Rick Parry, chair of the EFL, said: “This report provides substantial evidence that our clubs continue to be at the heart of their communities, bringing life-changing opportunities that leave a lasting impact.
“The need for EFL clubs to continue as catalysts for social change remains, with an increasing scale of club community work delivered since 2019. Financial sustainability for EFL clubs is key to enabling them to continue as a force for good in their communities.”
