Druglink and Kings Langley Football Club

Kings Langley Football Club partner with local charity Druglink

The partnership, the first of its kind for KLFC, will see Druglink design and deliver a special educational programme focusing on the risks of recreational drug use to the hundreds of young footballers who currently represent the club, something which Director of Football Darren Eliot is incredibly proud of;

“Many people see us simply as a football club but we are so much more, especially when it comes to our youth teams. Young footballers learn so many life skills through playing football and we hope the education programme will go a long way to ensuring our young people have all of the knowledge they need to safely navigate issues like this.”

For the next two seasons all home shirts worn by Kings Langley players will carry the Druglink logo and fundraising activities will take place throughout the upcoming season.

KLFC’s Head of Community, Dean Wigzell had this to say;

“Football clubs often ignore the responsibilities they have within their wider community but I am delighted that this one doesn’t.  This is a partnership we can really be proud of and I truly hope that it will go a long way in not just supporting the great work of Druglink but also educating everyone at the club and helping to remove the stigma so often attached to those in recovery.”
