A Berkshire charity that believes no child should be forced to give up the activities they love because of financial hardship has launched a new fundraising game.
No Knockout, a charity that helps children and young people continue participating in the sports, creative arts, and community activities, has launched Super Ten where users predict the outcome of ten football matches over a weekend.
Riffing on Sky Sports Super Six, Super Ten takes matches around the country and lines them up alongside a selection of West Berkshire fixtures, from Newbury Town to Hungerford Town and Reading FC.
Aaron White, the man behind the charity and the new game said: “Lots of charity shops offer scratchcards or the opportunity to round up spend to the nearest whole £ to add additional funding directly into their good causes, so I wanted to create something that was more representative of the spirit of The Retrograde.
“Because a hugely popular part of the shop custom comes from people searching out retro and vintage football jerseys, as well as local teams shirts selling out almost as quickly as we get them donated, it felt like a football predictor to raise money was a natural fit. Fun for many of our customers who clearly love football and, importantly, a local focus for teams around the area to keep an interest in what’s happening at a local level, all whilst directly raising funds for No Knockout. Fingers crossed people like it as much as I enjoyed developing it.”
Aaron runs The Retrograde in Thatcham, a physical shop and online presence specialising in collectables, sports memorabilia and more.
