Partnership

Smart Storage Toy Appeal

Altrincham FC has partnered with Smart Storage to once again take part in their annual Christmas Toy Appeal. We have taken part in this wonderful scheme for the past 4 years, and are delighted to once again be helping raise toys for children of the local area.

 

Altrincham and Smart Storage put boxes out within the community, asking locals to contribute any sorts of toys. These toys are then given to the Starlight Unit for 1-16-year-olds at Wythenshawe Hospital who sadly may end up spending Christmas in hospital. It will also provide relief for some of the families at Beaumont School in Warrington.

 

The local drop-off points where you can give your toys over are the J. Davidson Stadium and the Craven Road Smart Storage facility and these will be open from the 26th of November until the 11th of December. 

 

Smart Storage offers its customers affordable storage facilities, ranging from domestic, commercial, or student services.

 

Altrincham will be supporting the Toy Appeal before, during, and after the 11th of December Bromley home fixture, where fans will be able to drop off toys as well as donate any money they wish to.




Sporting Memories Session

Altrincham FC Community Sports are delighted to announce that we will be partnering with The Sporting Minds Foundation to put on a bi-weekly session aiming to use the power of remembering and talking about sport to combat dementia, loneliness, and depression.


Sporting Memories hold sessions at over 120 locations around the U.K. and do some very important work, providing support for those that often feel the most isolated.


The sessions mostly entail a general chit-chat about some form of sporting memory or memorabilia, but extensive knowledge of sports is not necessary. We also offer a light bit of physical exercise followed by some hot drinks and cake. 


All the sessions are run by trained dementia and low mood staff, but the session is welcome to all over 50’s. Lasting 90 minutes, sessions will take place every two weeks on a Tuesday at 1.30 PM.
