Exeter City up for the cups!

Exeter City fans are on a major Cup run... taking part in a scheme that will help local charities and the environment.

The club is on a mission to reduce single use plastic.

As part of that drive, starting last week at the home match against Wigan, Eco Cups were introduced to the St James Park stadium bars.
 
The six organisations who will benefit from the new Exeter City Community Fund are Exeter City Community Trust, Exeter Community Initiatives, Alright Mate? CiC, Exeter Leukaemia Fund, Devon Rape Crisis and Sexual Abuse Services and Refugee Support Devon.

Supporters purchasing drinks will pay a £1 deposit for their cup, they will then have the option to return their cup and receive their deposit, keep it as a memento or return it and donate their deposit to the Community Fund.

Jamie Vittles, chief executive of Exeter City Community Trust, said: “We are pleased to be part of this initiative. There is so much excellent work being delivered by charitable organisations across Devon, and we’re delighted to see that being supported through the new fund.”
 
Ellie Taylor, business operations manager at Exeter Community Initiatives, said: “We’re very grateful to be one of the six Devon charities benefitting from Exeter City Football Club’s new fundraising campaign.  Their new reusable Eco Cup is a brilliant green initiative and we wish them every success with it!”
 
Donations to the fund can also be made at points around the ground via QR codes, as well as online at the club website at https://newtickets.ecfc.co.uk/donations/
