Kingsthorpe Jets Raiders are an Under 10's grassroots football team that have decided to go above and beyond to help others.

On Sunday 30th November they, along with their coaches, will attempt to run as a team, 100km in 4 hours to raise money to purchase Christmas presents for children and young adults in and around Northamptonshire.

Action for Children research finds around a third of children aged 8 to eighteen fear that a friend or classmate won’t get any presents (33%) or celebrate Christmas this year (32%) because their family can’t afford it.

New analysis of official figures shows nearly one in five UK children (2.6million) are living in material deprivation, going without the basics like warmth, fresh food or a celebration this Christmas – with more than half (1.5million) under 10 years old.

Please help us by donating what you can afford and let's help spread some festive cheer this Christmas.

Thank you,

Team Raiders
