Donate footballs
(or anything that might be of use to a school)
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.
We are also looking for:
Computers
Printers
Footballs
Football boots
Full Football team kits (at least 10 shirts)
Football goalposts
Football goalnets
Netball poles and Hoops
Netballs
Volleyballs
Tennis Balls

(Pretty much everything you need to run a school - contact us if you have something that might be useful!)
Please make sure everything you send is in usable condition - it does not have to be new please contact us to arrange delivery or collection.
Thanks!
Revellers Love The Rain for BFiM
Friday 29th July 2011
The Blues n Rock Garden Party was once again a huge success, with over £4,000 raised by the event for projects in Malawi. Despite torrential rainfall, revellers danced to the stunning musical acts, and continued to tuck into fabulous foods with gusto – even the power cuts didn’t stop the festival style fun at the gorgeous garden venue. BFiM aims to raise £10,000 a year, so a big thank you goes out to everyone who attended, bought a raffle ticket and of course volunteered to take part in our annual event.
