BTFC donated to the worthwhile cause of KITAID.

Finding homes for your unwanted football kits in Africa and beyond KitAid is a charity set up by, Derrick Williams MBE, who visited
Tanzania on a WaterAid supporters' trip in 1998. Derrick, being a mad footie fan, was amazed at the reception he received from
children and adults in remote villages just because he wearing his favourite football shirt (Watford, Chesham Utd, Liverpool FC to name a few).

After two weeks in Tanzania, a flame was lit in Derrick's heart and he was on a mission to provide kit and equipment to the bare-footed
children playing with footballs made of tied string and plastic bags. Fifteen years on, KitAid has Graham Taylor OBE as its Patron, lots of volunteers and to date they have sent out 200,000 kits to children and adults in 40 different countries across the world.
