Cheltenham Town have distributed money from the FA Community Shield to three local charities.
Three local charities have been handed a boost by Cheltenham Town courtesy of the FA Community Shield.LINC, the Oakley Neighbourhood Project and St. Vincent's & St George's Association were all handed cheques of £600 or more by Robins chairman Paul Baker on the final matchday of the season.
The money has come direct from the FA Community Shield which raises money through ticket and programme sales which is then distributed out to Football League clubs. The clubs then make the decision on where the money is donated within the local area.
LINC is a cancer charity that offers support to patients and families affected by leukaemia, lymphoma and other blood cancers. You can learn more about this fantastic charity here: www.lincfund.org.
