Play Safe...
We are using Saturday's game as our Play Safe Matchday, under the banner 'Keep Up The Convo'. The initiative highlights the vital role parents, coaches, and fans play in keeping safeguarding conversations active, ensuring young people feel supported and confident to speak up.
We are also proud to welcome The Offside Trust to Saturday's fixture. Formed in December 2016, this independent, survivor-led organisation supports victims of child sexual abuse in sport while championing stronger safeguarding across the game. Their team will be based in the Junior U's Kids' Zone to speak with supporters.
Custom Sunglasses...
Look out for Jess's handmade player-themed novelty glasses, available from the Junior U's Kids' Zone before kick-off.
Priced at £10 per pair, the glasses are helping Jess fund her studies, with a portion of every sale also supporting Cambridge United Foundation. Please note that sales are cash only and limited to one pair per person.
