Oxford United were delighted to visit our friends at Helen and Douglas House this afternoon to spread a little Christmas cheer.
The U’s are working with eBay and the EFL this season with the online auction site donating their perimeter advertising and programme page to Helen & Douglas House, the world’s oldest children hospice who are celebrating 40 years of fantastic work in the heart of Oxford this year.
Manager Karl Robinson and Head of Academy Stevie Kinniburgh took time out of their busy schedules to visit Helen & Douglas House and hand out presents donated by eBay including kit and footballs.
Karl told us:
“It was an absolute pleasure to visit and see everyone. We have grown really close to Helen & Douglas House this year: staff did a parachute jump for them, we had a matchday dedicated to them and we have gone along and supported a number of events. That will continue into 2023 and we thank ebay for their help in making today such a great day.
“The staff are amazing people and most fans in Oxford and across Oxfordshire will know a family who Helen & Douglas House have helped over the years. It’s an honour to be asked along and to be able to help in any way we can.”
