Malawi is seriously underdeveloped with regards to sport. They suffer from a serious lack of sports equipment. We aim to fill a container full of sports equipment and ship it out to Malawi. This is a fantastic opportunity for you to do something useful with equipment that you no longer use. We have introduced Malawian branches of Liverpool FC, Colchester United FC, Dedham Old Boys FC, Pollards Inn FC, Newcastle University, Willaston Youth FC, Boxted Wanderers Youth, Neston Nomads FC, FC Inter Minan, CUSA FC, Norwich City FC and Wivenhoe Youth FC. Perhaps it's time for your team to branch out!
The great football giveaway - in 2008 we took 100 Footballs to Malawi. Check out the 100 footballs for malawi video here.

Unusual Auction Raises Money For BFIM Library Project
Monday 16th August 2010
The recent Building Futures in Malawi Blues and Rock Garden Party went down a storm. Not only did a larger than ever crowd revel in the unique atmosphere that was electrified by some of the best musical talent in Colchester, the charity gift auction was an unusual turn of events. As regular guests of the BFIM music event will know, each year a cake is auctioned off to raise money to improve the lives of children in Malawi, but this year there was a surprise in store for the guests. An employee of sponsors High Position, an Essex based search engine optimisation company, offered themselves up for bidding in return for a night out on the tiles. In good spirit Kerry McCarthy was won by colleague Tobias Bowman and the pair spent an evening drinking fine wine and eating good food, followed by some dancing at a local nightclub. In total the event raised a stunning £5,900 which will go towards the latest project, building a community sports school which includes a secondary school, sports fields, community centre and library amongst many other things.
