Club pledges fee to Grenfell Tower fund
The game will raise money for the Grenfell Tower campaignWe will donate our fee for participating in the FA Community Shield against Chelsea to those tragically affected by last week's Grenfell Tower fire.
The football season's traditional ‘curtain raiser’ has a long tradition of raising money for a variety of charity and community organisations and gives the two London clubs a chance to come together to show support for a community which has lost so much in the wake of this tragic event.
It is hoped the game will raise in the region of £1.25 million for the victims.
