Sky Blues kit out our kids

Kids at Happy House are sporting the Coventry City colours thanks to the kindness of Sky Blues in the Community.
Sky Blues football development manager, Chloe Groves, hand delivered a whole selection of shirts and shorts to the football mad youngsters at Happy House where she sponsors six-year-old Said.
 On a pre-Christmas visit to Happy House she packed her bags full soccer gear which will be used by by kids at home and in school.
Mama Sue said: “We are very grateful to Chloe and Sky Blues in the Community.”
With Said (L) and Brian.
 Based at the Ricoh Arena, Sky Blues in the Community is formerly a department of Coventry City Football Club formed in 1993 to deliver football in the community initiatives on behalf of the club.
The organisation became a registered charity in December 2008, financially independent from the football club and governed by an independent Board of Trustees. It is supported by the Football League Trust, which oversees the work of community schemes at the 72 Football League clubs.
Chloe was delighted to see the children’s excitement when she unpacked the shirts
She said: “They were all so excited and we had volunteers from every direction wanting to put on a shirt for a photo.” said Chloe “their faces lit up when they pulled on a shirt!
 “Children of Watamu is a small charity doing amazing work to change the lives of children in need and is entirely funded by fundraising, donations and it’s child sponsor team.  
 I love sponsoring Said, he’s such a lively little boy and into everything!”
