Edinburgh South under-10 footballers will be hard at work in Inch Park on Sunday afternoon raising funds for Bethany Christian Trust’s efforts at ending homelessness as well as partly financing a once-in-a-lifetime club tour of Majorca in October.
The target is to raise £10,000 with the money to be split evenly between the charity and the football tour.
To fulfil that objective the team will aim to dribble football’s non-stop for 5k and already the scheme can claim success having taught the players about real life challenges facing many in Edinburgh and throughout Scotland.
Team member Jenson, 10, is up for the challenge, saying: “It is going to be hard work but it is totally worth it for a brilliant cause.”
Head coach Paul Barr, added: “We are really proud of how hard the boys are working for this once in a lifetime football tour. We are also so pleased that half of the money is going to the brilliant work of Bethany.
“Any donation would be so appreciated.”
The club have launched a crowd finder page which is at:
