Football Club provides support to bereaved supporters
URGENT NOTICE: THIS SUNDAY
Leicester City Football Club will once again be holding a service of ‘Remembrance and Thanksgiving’ at the Walkers Stadium on Sunday 17th May. This will be the third year that such an event has been organised by the club. This occasion gives bereaved supporters, and the families of ex-staff and players the opportunity to remember and celebrate the lives of their deceased loved ones.
The service will take place in the club’s Garden of Remembrance and will be led by Club Chaplain, Bruce Nadin (If the weather is inclement this will take place in one of the Stadium’s Hospitality areas). The event will be informal, but dignified, and will provide inspiration, comfort, and hope to those who wish to remember their loved ones through the football club. At the end of the service light refreshments will be provided.
Club Chaplain Bruce Nadin said, “The previous two years have been well attended and much appreciated. Many supporters have commented that the service helped them enormously, and hoped that the club would repeat the experience. We are confident that this years service will attract larger numbers.”…..
Alan Birchenall said, “We are really proud of our Garden of Remembrance. We appreciate that the football Club plays a huge part in people’s lives, and that the Garden has provided a means for supporters to express their sense of loss and grief through the club. This Annual Service builds on the popularity of the garden, and enables the club to provide continued support and contact with our bereaved supporters.”
Supporters who hope to attend, or would like the name of a loved one read out during the service, are advised to contact the club by email: [email protected]. or [email protected] or via the Supporter Hotline 0116 229 4555.
