Mansfield's charity football team, Frenbot, which raises money each year for local and national charities, has received a “generous” donation from The Mansfield Folk & Acoustic Club – as the annual event returns this August.

The Mansfield Folk & Acoustic Club's donation of £300 has been a significant boost to the event, for which Frenbot's organisers are deeply grateful.

Craig French, founding organiser, said: "This is their third year of doing such a wonderful thing. Thank you so much.

The Frenbot team will play against Supporting Charities FC, comprised of football fans, celebrities, and ex-professional footballers who play football to raise funds for charities. All players will be confirmed leading up to the match.

When asked why he continues bringing the event to the community each year, despite months of planning and preparing, Craig said: “I am just a Mansfield lad who wants to make a difference.”

With the fans' support, the team and celebrities have raised thousands of pounds for local and national charities in previous years, demonstrating the crucial role of each individual's participation from the grassroots of the community.
