A huge thank you to the more than 40 volunteers from local businesses in Suffolk who spent the day helping to pack and prepare various donated sports kits, clothing, educational books and sports equipment destined for our partner schools and local communities in Ghana.
Amongst the donations are kit from Premier League clubs such as ITFC and Brighton and Hove Albion FC, along with other sports clothing and equipment from around the country.
Volunteers from local businesses including MSC, who provided the shipping container and are covering all the costs to export the goods overseas, Cory Brothers, who are transporting the container to London Gateway Port, Bluestem Group, who provided the warehouse and facilities to pack the container, along with Sackers who collected and recycled the waste, all united to lend a hand for a common goal.
Futurestars Director Simon Milton commented: “We’ve been very grateful for the donations received to date, and the support of our donors. To have such a fantastic team of volunteers to help us sort and prepare the goods has been amazing – thank you!”
The shipment is due to depart London Gateway Port in the coming days and will arrive in Tema, Ghana 17 days later.
