Our Committee are very Proud to announce that we are joining forces with Ambers Law .
From day 1 the club has been proud to do lots of charity work in and around our local city as well at nationally, which has seen us wear the Cancer Research UK logo on match kits and run fundraising tournaments for CRUK and St Benedicts Hospice.
From season 2019-2020 all teams will Proudly wear the Ambers Law Logo on all match kits and we will do everything we can to raise awareness for such a great cause.
What is Ambers Law
Amber’s Law is an ongoing petition to change the NHS guidelines around cervical screening so that it is available to high-risk groups from the age of 18
Amber went to the doctors multiple times and was refused a screening on all of these occasions because her age was below the NHS guidelines. Amber then went on to pay for a private screening at the age of 21 and found she had cervical cancer that had been there for 2-4 years already.
This over the course of four years spread to her lungs and her throat and Amber sadly died at the age of 25.
