April 2008 - South Holderness Sixth Form Students, Hull FC’s Scott Wheeldon & Staff on Catwalk to Raise Cancer Fight Funds

This year marks the fifth year of South Holderness Technology College’s fundraising for Teenage Cancer Trust.  Between 2004 and April 2008, £5000 has been donated to the charity. Teenage Cancer Trust strives not only to improve the quality of life for young cancer patients but also their chances of survival. The Trust focuses on the needs of teenagers and young adults with cancer, leukaemia, Hodgkin’s and related diseases by providing specialist teenage units in NHS hospitals. More......

April 2008 - The 'Roving Away Strip' is born and gets its first outing at South Holderness Technical College's Fashion show (worn right by student Christopher Toyon).

We would like “eventers” to have photos taken so that we can put together an album and on this website. When the strip is old and threadbare and has raised thousands of pounds for the TCT, we would love to present the album to the company, as a quirky memento of our appreciation of their generosity.

If you can use out kit to help you raise funds for TCT please do contact us.

27th January 2008 - The special Hull FC Rugby Tackling Teenage Cancer / TCT shirt got its first airing.

Hull FC had the “launch” at the pre-season friendly against Doncaster on 27th January 2008. They had obtained a special dispensation from the RFL to have limited edition shirts produced bearing the Teenage Cancer Trust logo.  Other shirts have been produced for “normal” games bearing the TCT logo and Rugby Tackling Teenage Cancer.  These will be worn by ball boys, cheerleaders and the school children who pour on to the pitch at the beginning of games.  A brilliant spectacle for the telly and publicity for the Charity!
