A FOOTBALL company is helping to raise money for blind children in 2010.

Leisure Leagues, which runs community football leagues at Sir John Deane’s College, has teamed up with a new charity partner, the National Blind Children’s Charity (NBCS).

Adam Matthews, Leisure Leagues media manager, said: “We donate all our profits to charity and we are extremely happy to be extending that to such a worthy cause as the Blind Children’s Society.”

The donations will help the NBCS carry out their important work to the estimated 25,000 registered blind or partially sighted children in the UK.
