Middlesbrough fans who are able to are asked to support two important charitable causes being led by supporter groups on Saturday, before and after the Millwall game.
With just over a week to go before Christmas, Boro fans are being asked to give generously to help their fellow Teessiders, as the Millwall game is the latest that will see the Middlesbrough Supporters Forum collecting food and money donations for The Middlesbrough Foodbank.
On top of that collection, supporters’ group The Red Faction, well-known for the unique atmosphere they bring to the Riverside on match-days, are hosting an event after the game at The Intrepid Explorer which will raise money for two mental health charities - Andy’s Man Club and Teesside Mind.
The Foodbank collection will, as usual, be situated outside the North Stand ticket office from noon until kick-off 3pm, with fans urged to help if they can. The Foodbank, who provide support for many families across Teesside, are looking for dry and non-perishable food items. Card and cash payments are also gratefully accepted, while £5 donations can also be made by texting MSF to 70560.
The Red Faction’s event at The Intrepid Explorer, meanwhile, starts after the game for their Christmas charity event that includes four live bands, raffles and blind cards, with all money raised being split between mental health charities Andy’s Man Club and Teesside Mind.
Tickets for the event, costing £6, can be purchased by messaging the group on social media, using the Eventbrite ticket site or from behind the bar at The Intrepid Explorer. Red Faction have also said that if anyone can’t make the event but would still like to donate, they can do so by purchasing a ticket to the event as a form of donation.
