Lancing FC will raise money for the Lancing and Sompting food bank

The club announced their fundraising drive at the weekend as they look to stay involved in community matters as the period without football continues.

Lancing said: “Our local food bank continues to be instrumental in providing food to those in need during Covid-19, via food parcel deliveries and supermarket vouchers.

“Lancing FC has previously raised money for other charities such as CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably) and Mind, and in light of Marcus Rashford’s high-publicity activities, our choice of charity for this fundraising competition is very relevant.

“The 30-man squad, including management, coaches and Georgie has been divided into two teams: Team Shar v Team MD.

“The first team to run 500km over the course of this month wins! Good Luck all and thank you in advance for your generous donations.”
