Swindon Town’s kitmen, Steve Hooper and Jonah Isaacs, recently hosted a successful charity kit clearance to raise funds for Prospect Hospice.
Renowned for their podcast “Life of a Kitman,” the duo organised the event to sell off remaining Puma-branded stock following the end of Town’s partnership with the technical supplier.
The kit clearance, held to benefit the Wroughton-based Prospect Hospice, featured a range of items including match shirts, shorts, socks, training wear, rucksacks, polo shirts, and more.
Prospect Hospice provides exceptional, personalised, and compassionate care to those affected by life-limiting illnesses, free of charge. Their mission is to ensure that everyone can access expert care whenever and wherever needed, whether at the hospice or in their own homes.
Steve Hooper expressed his gratitude, saying, “It was great to see so many people from the local area come out to support the event and raise so much money for Prospect Hospice. A charity that is close to our hearts and I am sure has touched the lives of many of the people we saw on the day. £2873 is a remarkable amount and we hope it can go a long way in supporting the wonderful work of the hospice.”
Jonah Isaacs added, “Today we raised a great amount of money for a charity close to mine and Steve’s hearts, and one we love to help out whenever we can. With us changing from Puma to Adidas, we had lots of worn and brand-new Puma gear we could not use anymore, so we thought it would be a great idea to do a sale and make some money for a great cause. Thank you to everyone who came; it was great to see so many fans and chat with so many as we look ahead to a new season with some fresh new Adidas kit.”
Thanks to the generosity of Swindon Town fans, Steve and Jonah managed to raise £2873 for Prospect Hospice, showcasing the community’s support for a worthy cause.
