To everyone who has donated… “Thank You”…to everyone who is thinking of donating, please do so if you can. 🙌

A gift of just £2 can buy a ticket for a kid to go to the game.

The total is now £2222 & that is absolutely amazing…🤍💙👏👏👏🫶

One of the other ideas suggested by the Supporters Trust and our BRFCS friends in the planning meeting was a collection point in the Roverstore for fans to donate Club shop items for less well off families with children. The Club, yet again, agreed to our suggestion.

There are plenty of stocking fillers in the shop close to the donation point.

Thank you in advance to those who donate 🔵⚪️👏👏

I can’t take credit for that one; it was either Duncan or Ian but collectively we pushed it.

For a number of the kids attending v Watford using the brfcs raised monies it will be their first time ever at Ewood, or a rare visit at least; giving them Rovers themed gifts will hopefully cement their relationship with Rovers for life.

We have some astonishing breaking news - the appeal closes in just a few hours time & we have smashed through the £2500 barrier.

We have received a significant donation tonight & we have reason to believe that it may well have come from a club employee. We don't want to breach any confidentiality for obvious reasons but thank you mystery donor - it is very much appreciated ! 

Even a donation of £2 makes a difference so if you can & want to, before midnight please as we will hand over funds to the Rovers Community Trust asap so they can spend it to help the kids on their programmes.

BRFCS is adding £250 to the pot...we are therefore now at £2807...

£193 needed for an amazing £3k total...can we...? 🙏

Brilliant, that’s 1,500 extra bodies on Ewood. Let’s hope they see a Rovers win.

A brilliant effort from our fans.

I sadly it does not mean an extra 1,500 fans attending.  You can’t just get that number to attend along with parents / guardians.  Any balance goes towards Community Trust community programmes over Christmas.

Just to confirm the detail in our article regarding what the Commnunity Trust will do with funds raised…
