Thanks to the donations of our players, as well as the proceeds from various auctions and other charity initiatives, we have been able to provide significant support to those in need again this year.
Our club has always made it a priority to support those in need, not only during the festive season but also throughout the year, but of course, as in previous years, we have joined forces to make the festive season a little brighter for those less fortunate, just before Christmas.
Our club put six original signed Vidi shirts up for auction at the end of November. The shirts sold for 576,000 HUF at the charity auction, with the proceeds going to support the St. Christopher House for the Disabled Day Care Centre of the Charity. The grant will be used to organise as many activities as possible for the residents of the institution, such as excursions and museum visits, but also to purchase equipment for musical development (instruments to develop skills).
Vidi's players donated a total of HUF 500,000 to the Fejér Vármegye Children's Protection Centre. The children who accompanied the Vidi and Nyíregyháza footballers to the pitch at the last home Vidi match of the year came from this institution. The institution's six professional units currently provide care for 144 underage children and 22 young adults in aftercare. The grant money will be used to organise as many programmes as possible for children in difficulty, similar to the Szent Kristóf House, to give them an experience.
As part of the Good to be Good charity campaign, our club donated an original Vidi shirt signed by the team.
The charity event, organised by FEZEN and friends for the third time, also received donations from our club.
Last but not least, with the help of our supporters, we were able to donate several bags of cuddly toy figures to the Hungarian Maltese Charity Service. The charity will deliver the toys to children in need, who will surely be delighted to receive the gifts.
