Kitmas 2023: the gift of giving

Kitmas hopes to brighten the Christmas of many children in the UK, collecting and distributing sports shirts to kids who may not otherwise receive presents this year.

Any sports fan has childhood memories of the joy and excitement of pulling on a new kit, and Kitmas aims to spread that happiness around the country.

Sadly, more families than ever before will struggle to afford gifts this Christmas due to the cost of living crisis.

More than £75,000 raised: making a real difference

Kitmas was founded by football coach and activist Paul Watson and his wife Lizzie, with support from stand up comedians Vix Leyton and Mark Watson (Paul's brother). Our goal is to run this appeal every year and eventually to become a registered charity. Since we started in 2020, we have distributed 3,000 shirts to young football fans with the help of Bristol City, Forest Green Rovers, Cheltenham Town, Exeter City and Frome Town. This year though we want to make an even bigger impact, and that's where you come in.
