“True Colours” Campaign Launched

Throughout the weekend, we wish to encourage visitors to proudly show their support for their choice of team on the field by dressing in team colours. This could be through replica shirts (of any sport!) or simply wearing the colour that is associated with the nation. 

We hope to see many bright colours and enthusiastic supporters all around the venue across the two days. 

Chosen Charities

On Saturday 28th we will be raising money for our two chosen charities by running a raffle with prizes on offer. The charities are as follows: 

• Yoshimizu Kodomo Shokudo – Chokotto

This is a local children’s charity near the SICG which provides meals at a very low price for children once a month. 

• Mirai No Mori

This is a not-for-profit organisation that creates life-changing outdoor programs for abused, neglected, and orphaned youths in Japan, supporting their growth into happy and successful young adults. For more information you can visit their website at: https://mirai-no-mori.jp/
