Club Brugge donates 462 Winter Coats to People in Deprivation
Last Sunday, a collection of winter coats was organised before the Club Brugge – Standard match. The Club fans showed their blue and black hearts and donated a total of 462 winter coats, which can be used to help people living in socially vulnerable situations during this winter period.
During these winter months, thousands of people living in underprivileged poverty in their region risk being left out in the cold. Televestiaire Brugge, a social organisation where people in a vulnerable situation can go for clothing and household goods, asked Club Brugge Foundation if they could help remedy the acute shortage of warm winter coats. In response, teh Club Brugge Foundation launched an appeal: ‘give warmth to those in need and donate a winter coat with Club Brugge – Standard.’
This appeal was massively answered by the Club family. For example, equipment manager Pascal Plovie donated a large load of winter coats originating from the players’ group, the Club stewards showed their big hearts and donated dozens of coats, some supporters’ clubs organised a local collection in their region and the atmosphere groups North Fanatics, VAK 313 and Bruges Loyals also supported this fundraising campaign.
“Our less fortunate people often cannot afford nice winter coats. Thanks to this collection by Club Brugge, we can get through the winter well and help people who really need it to get suitable clothes. We are forever grateful to the Club fans.”
Ann Daenens of Televestiaire Brugge
