Give back on City's festive football weekend.

Celebrate a City Christmas with a festive double-header when City Men take on Sunderland on Saturday, December 16th and City Women face Chelsea on Sunday, December 17th.

We invite you to give back this Christmas and spread some festive cheer to those who may need it.

Charities Teddy Trust, Kitmas and St Mungo’s will be on site accepting donations on Saturday and Sunday.

HOW TO DONATE?

Supporters can bring donations that fit the criteria of each charity to Ashton Gate Stadium on each matchday and drop off at our donation point.

The donation point over the festive weekend will be located inside the concourse at A8 - which is located opposite the Independence Sports bar from inside the concourse.

We will sort your donations and deliver to each charity in time for Christmas.
