Betfred are proud to support the PFA’s One Goal One Million campaign and to contribute to raising funds to build a new children’s hospital in Manchester. Betfred feel this is an important project in its North West Heartland which is why the firm are delighted to give £50,000 in support of the PFA’s Gala dinner on December 2nd at Manchester Central.

As the official bookmakers of Wembley Stadium and Manchester United Betfred are at the heart of English football and support the game from the grassroots through to the very highest level. A children’s hospital will not only benefit families in the Greater Manchester area but the accessibility of the city means children from across the country will be able to access these new world class facilities and that’s a legacy worth paying out for.

The Non-League Footballers Association (The NLFA) has been developed to support and assist footballers playing in the non-league and amateur game.

Likewise, The NLFA will assist non-league players making the leap into league football and direct them to the opportunities available through The PFA.
