*UPDATE 3rd March 2022 - We are not taking any more donations as we have been inundated with supplies; the response has been fantastic, thank you to everyone who has donated! You can take your donations to the The Boston Community Group from tomorrow (Friday 4th March) - you can drop off at Boston Home Bargains (unit in the middle), Boston Shopping Park, Horncastle Road, PE21 9BD.

Everyone at Boston United Football Club is incredibly saddened and concerned regarding the current crisis in Ukraine - thousands of people are losing their homes, families are being separated, or are leaving loved ones behind to fight. At least 368,000 people have already fled their homes and more could follow if the fighting spreads, with the majority crossing the border in to neighbouring Poland.

This is a heartbreaking situation and we want to support and show solidarity with Ukraine, helping in any way that we can. Many of these refugees are in desperate need of essential supplies.

Our staff will have collection buckets at our next two games (5th and 19th) for people to make a monetary donation to the Ukraine Appeal should they wish.
