Huddersfield Town’s First Team will proudly wear The Kirkwood logo on the front of their shirts during their midweek Sky Bet Championship match against Cardiff City.
The Club announced earlier this month that for all away matches they will be giving exposure to three fantastic local charities on the front of their away shirts.
The Town Foundation and the Yorkshire Air Ambulance have already appeared on the jerseys, and now The Kirkwood will appear on the red away shirt when they travel to face the Welsh side on Tuesday.
In case you don’t already know, The Kirkwood (formerly known as Kirkwood Hospice) is an independent charity, providing vital care and support for anyone affected by a life limiting illness in Kirklees.
The Kirkwood are motivated by the belief that everyone affected by a life limiting illnesses deserves the very best care. Care which helps to improve quality of life in ways that are important for the families relying on it – for however long that may be.
For over 30 years, The Kirkwood have cared for people in Huddersfield, and across Kirklees. Whether at the hospice, in the home or out in the community, the charity helps patients, families and carers to live the best quality of life possible and make the most of every single day.
The charity offers a wide range of services, caring for people at any stage of their illness, including a dedicated team of community nurses who visit patients and families in their own homes throughout Kirklees. Not many people are aware, but The Kirkwood are the only charity which provides specialist nursing support for people in their own homes here in Kirklees.
From the moment someone receives a diagnosis, right through to end of life care – and beyond –The Kirkwood Support Life at every stage of the journey.
Michael Crowther, Chief Executive with The Kirkwood, said: “To be asked to feature on the front of Huddersfield Town’s away shirt is a huge honour; it’s fantastic exposure for us.
“As a local charity, many of the people we care for are huge Town fans, and over the years, we have developed a fantastic relationship with the Club.
“Locally, we know there are many people living with a life limiting illness who may benefit from our services. But many don’t reach out soon enough for us to make a positive difference to their quality of life. Sometimes they don’t reach out at all. We hope that this collaboration will encourage Town fans to find out more about the many ways The Kirkwood help patients and families across Kirklees.
"Huddersfield Town share our passion for the local community and our desire to help, so it’s a brilliant partnership. We would like to say a massive thank you to everyone at the Club, and to the fans, for all their support and generosity.
