Big push for charity on new show

Keech is taking time out from preparing for the fundraising drive to explain the mission of the EVO-STIK League's official charity to listeners when the podcast is recorded in Manchester on Thursday for release on Friday evening on the eve of NLD 2017.

The bucket collections on the eighth running of Non-League Day are kicking off a season of fundraising and mark the official start of collections of unwanted kit and sporting equipment for the charity to put to good use.

Keech, looking forward to the support of the EVO-STIK League's 68 clubs for the third season running, will explain how the kit and cash collections will be used to help thousands of disadvantaged children and young people in the UK to fulfill their sporting potential, whatever their background, ability or disability.

Sports Traider was founded in Bedford nearly a decade ago in 2009 by Lance Haggith who was named 2010 BBC Sports Personality of the Year Unsung Hero for getting the charity off the ground and the early impact it made. Put simply, the charity aims to make clothing and sports equipment affordable to all, and at the same time generate a sustainable source of funding to help disadvantaged youngsters participate in sport.

Apart from their growing number of permanent collection points and recycling banks for unwanted sports kit and equipment in strategic locations and links with schools and sports centres around the country, Sports Traider also works with local sports brands and retail outlets who are invited to donate surplus, end-of-line or seconds stock directly.

Fans of the EVO-STIK NPL Shows are looking forward to Friday's show after doubling up on the debate last weekend with the release of September's new monthly podcast and the latest spin-off special covering EVO-STIK League North and South.

Produced by the award-winning team behind FCUM Radio and recorded every week at the award-winning Heaton Hops in South Manchester, the EVO-STIK League's stable of hit weekly and monthly podcasts returned for the 2017-18 campaign after the summer break to build on their best ever listening figures last term.

Available on iTunes as well as Audioboom, the podcasts are being sponsored for the fourth season running by the NPL's title sponsors EVO-STIK and since last season have also been available via their own button on the right hand side of the home page of the league's official website.
