Dear FGR Fans,

First things first – Happy New year…

I’m writing to tell you about a new campaign that starts today that we’re involved with – called the Green Football Weekend. As the name suggests perhaps – it’s all about greening up the world of football and takes place from today.

The campaign is aimed at clubs, players and fans and it’s core focus this year (this is the second year) is food – one of my favourite subjects, as you may know. We’ll be sharing the messages about plant based food, it’s role in human health and the climate crisis and showing people just how easy it is to make changes that benefit both.

Our own Devil’s Kitchen burgers will be centre stage as we push to make them an option in football grounds up and down the country. We already supply one in four English primary schools by the way. Anyway, if you’re interested, I would love for you and your family to get involved with us. Here’s how;

A key part of the campaign is a competition for fans, whereby we ask them to score green goals for their team in the ‘Green Football Cup’ – a competition that spans the Premier League and EFL. Including our own Forest Green Rovers. Scoring goals is as simple as undertaking a pledge or action, like eating a plant based meal, or planning using the AI recipe generator or switching to a green energy provider. Just do or pledge to do something and you score a goal for FGR. You can score as many goals as you want until the 7 of Feb and I hope you will…

The campaign kicks off today and you can find all the details here

Let’s all score goals for FGR and get them to the top of the Green Football Cup.
