Join us for a golf day
Join football legend Andy Cole this June at his inaugural charity golf day and help us raise vital funds to advance research into kidney disease and help patients with their mental health and wellbeing.
Hosted at the prestigious golf club, The Shire London, enjoy a spectacular day of golf followed by a 3-course dinner and entertainment.
Get the ball rolling
By donating to the Andy Cole Fund you will be supporting vital research to improve the lives of kidney patients.
You could be a real champion, just like Andy, by organising your own fundraiser. Fantasy football or 5a side, there are plenty of ways you could raise money:
- Host a sponsored FIFA tournament
- Arrange a charity sports quiz night
- Organise a ‘football legends’ dress-down day at work or school
The idea doesn’t have to be football related either. You could:
- Raise money with a head (or beard) shave
- Go for a sponsored 5km run
- Plan a workplace bake sale
No idea is a bad idea and we’re here to support you however you choose to get involved. If you need help, or for information on how to get started, contact our fundraising team for a chat.
