The appeal has been backed by Wrexham AFC men’s and women’s players with boots already donated from the first teams, and club staff. Donations are welcomed from May 5 until May 31, and the centre is open from 9am for donations.Īny footwear that is donated will be distributed to children and young people in the local community through WAFCCT and local partners.
