Birmingham City Football Club: Blue Nose Day 2023

When Birmingham City Football Club came under new stewardship earlier in the year, the Club pledged to be a positive force for good in the community in which it operates.

This year, Blues has partnered with the Birmingham Children's Trust to deliver a campaign the size of which has never been undertaken in the city.

Many of the 11,000 children associated with the Children's Trust would be without a gift this Christmas. We don’t believe that is fair, so the Club consulted with Supporters Groups and we have decided that together we will seek to raise enough funds to buy gifts for all 11,000 children.

The gifts chosen by the Children’s Trust are a teddy bear or water bottle for the younger children. The sad reality for many of the older children is that they live in houses with no heating, so the Trust has chosen a woolly hat or blanket, as keeping warm is often their priority.

To think that many of the 11,000 children in the city would go without a gift this festive is season is heartbreaking, and something we don’t think the people of Birmingham will allow to happen.

These gifts will be delivered on behalf of you – a supporter of Birmingham. Not the football club, the city. For every £3 donated by a supporter of the city, another child under the care of Birmingham Children’s Trust will be able to smile – or simply keep warm – this Christmas.

Please help Birmingham City to help Birmingham city.
