At the end of March, supporter Richard Tennant spoke with the club about launching a fund raising campaign to assist Whitstable Town FC during a period when the usual income from football and social events would be unavailable due to the coronavirus outbreak. There has been an amazing response from the community and the target of £5,000 was surpassed this week. Thank you to everyone that has contributed, as it really has made a difference to the club during these testing times. The total was boosted by great contributions from some of our younger players who took on different challenges to raise money. Dexter Dean raised over £1,000, whilst Jack and Theo Santer made £1,320 which was split between the NHS and three local sports clubs, of which £210 was donated to the football club. The money has been put towards an improved irrigation system for the pitch and ground maintenance equipment for the senior and youth sections.
