🧗‍♀️ Upper Lighthorne FC Fundraiser Alert! 🧗‍♀️

One of our coaches, James Yates, is taking on an incredible challenge to raise money for CHWA — a charity doing brilliant work supporting women and children who have been subjected to domestic abuse.

James is putting his bravery to the test by absailing down coventry cathedral and we’d love the whole Upper Lighthorne FC family to get behind him. If you can spare a donation, big or small, it will make a real difference.

A massive well done to Elias, from our U7s who has officially joined the Birmingham City Academy.

Elias had the chance to celebrate by playing his first match on the pitch at St Andrews recently, meeting some of the players and putting in a great performance

Well done Elias 💪💪
