Testimonials
Hugh Robertson MP, Minister for Sport and the Olympics ‘It is with great pleasure that I lend my support, together with Jonathan Reynolds MP for Stalybridge and Hyde to the Kits to Kids Appeal. The work that Kits to Kids does to help young people aspire to become sporting heroes is a worthy cause. Projects like this provide the practical means to make those dreams a reality. We know that sport plays a vital role in every community and I wish all those involved with this project every success.’
Ian Swire, Chairman, Sheffield Eagles RLFC
“Sheffield Eagles fully support the Menzie Yere Foundation and the Kits to Kids initiative. Rugby League is the national sport of Papua New Guinea and it is fantastic that the Eagles and indeed rugby league clubs throughout the United Kingdom are backing this charitable organisation to carry on the work that Menzie initiated during his first few months in the UK. The Kits to Kids scheme should provide an increasing number of Papuans with the opportunity to participate in sport.”
Rt Hon Nick Clegg, MP & Deputy Prime Minister
"The Papua New Guinea Project is a wonderful initiative and one that I am delighted to lend my support to. The donation of rugby boots and shirts to the island will no doubt encourage future generations to participate in the sport whilst ensuring that rugby is accessible to everyone, irrespective of their background. Sport is at its best when it unites and benefits communities and this project will certainly help to do that."
Harriet Harman MP QC, Leader of the Opposition
Richard Caborn, Former MP and Minister of Sport
“I fully support the Kits to Kids Appeal and I wish them great success in what is a very worthy cause. Providing kits to the children and people of Papua New Guinea will not only inspire the next generation of rugby heroes, but ensure that everyone is given the opportunity to take part in sport. It also gives the players and fans of this country the chance to give something back to the game, by helping the kids of PNG.”
Nigel Wood, Chief Executive Officer, RFL
“The RFL is delighted to support Sheffield Eagles and the Menzie Yere Foundation’s Kits 4 Kumuls campaign.
The initiative will supply boots and shirts to rugby league teams in Papua New Guinea and the RFL is sure that rugby league clubs in this country will wish to support this worthwhile cause.
With very best wishes for the scheme’s success” We would be happy to assist you in this worthy project and have all the skills you will need to get the equipment to PNG and properly distributed".
