As part of the squad's Christmas visits, the club are supporting the Castle Hill United Reformed Church foodbank in Northampton.
Official figures show that this year 48% of children on the estate surrounding the church are living in poverty of which 33% are living in severe poverty.
The Castle Hill United Reformed Church are supporting 206 children of varying ages and providing these families with all ingredients for them to enjoy a full Christmas dinner while each child will receive a gift bag of age appropriate wrapped gifts.
The club are supporting the Church who want to be able to give the families and in particular the children the Christmas that they deserve and to take away the worry from the parents at not being able to afford Christmas.
