One Game One Community Event at Aldershot Town!

Fans for Diversity would like to invite you to a ‘ One game One community ‘evening at Aldershot Town Football Club on Sunday 10th October.

Working in partnership with The Football Supporters Association, Kick It Out, Aldershot Town FC, UK Nepal Friendship Society and the OCHD (One Community Hampshire & Dorset) believe football has the power to deliver positive change to bring people together.
