Khuddam from the MKA Gillingham Qiadat went to Priestfields, home of the pride of Kent, Gillingham Football Club, to collect money for Demelza Hospice.

The Demelza Hospice is a local chairty which the Gillingham Qiadat has made links with.  Demelza provides hospice care for over 600 children with life-limiting illnesses and their families across East Sussex, Kent and South East London.

5 Khuddam attended with 4 Ansar on match day (20th February) and collected money in buckets 90 minutes before the game, 15 minutes during the half time interval, and then 20 minutes after the game had ended.

In that short space of time a total of £741.11 was collected, which was an excellent effort by all involved, braving the cold and League One football!
