Woozie Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 The thing with charity is that you can't help everyone. Wednesday do a lot more good than bad in this regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulva Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 TBH, I’m with the club on this one, as harsh as that may sound. I’d prefer the club to ‘adopt’ one different local charity each year, and plough all fundraising initiatives through that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawksmore Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 November 24th, the club are helping with raising awareness and food donations for the S6 Foodbank. A very worthy cause that helps so many people. The club can't help everyone that contacts them, but i'm sure that no matter what, some people will have to be told no.

Hawkowl Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 It seems that it's not so much "We're all Wednesday aren't we". But more "We're all Chansiri aren't we". FFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they should only help higher profile charities that give Wednesday (Chansiri) positive publicity. With more media coverage for his name. FFS.

Neither Sheffield are available to buy so I emailed the RBL to ask if they could manufacture one for me, and I didn’t mind paying for any extra costs. They responded saying that SWFC had refused permission for their badge to be used for their charity. Very disappointing that the club we all love won’t allow their name to help the poppy appeal.

One charity doesn’t mean higher profile. Having dealt with large national charities on a regular basis, I’d actually much prefer the focus to be on smaller ones with a local impact.

Theres always stories like this. Funnily enough they always seem to portray the blades as being a lovely generous club. They also turn people down, and pick their charitable moments when they want to. All part of PR, which is fine, we’re not very good at that really. I’m looking at doing a potential fund raiser in about 6 weeks for Sheffield children’s hospital. I’ve done a couple of personal things myself this year and through friends generously sponsoring I’ve raised around £1,000. Now thats all done I was looking to do an event. One of the things I was considering incorporating was a raffle (amongst lots of other things). If you could messge me any numbers or contacts of clubs/businesses that donate to causes like this it would be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonesy87shef Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Charity is about community. Say what you like about that lot down the road they do these things right and had heard similar stories to the op. Look at what the Leicester chairman did for their community. I wish our club could be more involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@owlstalk Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 I think people are all piling in without stopping to think whether they're actually correct or not Our club DOES work with / for charities and does loads in the community Not sure why they're getting bashed on this thread when it seems the main complaints are a few smaller requests for help with signed shirts etc Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit like Dave Allen who does an awful lot for local charities that goes under the radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
