Man Utd Foundation take 12 participants on trip to Cyprus
“United is my life, my passion,” said Charalambos Loizou, the Cyprus Supporters’ Club secretary. “I live in Cyprus now, but I was born in Whitefield, and so I have a special connection to Manchester and recognise the huge impact United can, and should, have on local young people.
“After a conversation with [Foundation CEO] John Shiels about how we as a Supporters’ Club could help the amazing work the Foundation does, it was agreed that we would host a deserving group from Manchester and give them a true Cypriot experience. It just goes to show the amazing things we can do when we come together as a club.”
As well as the aforementioned activities, the Cyprus Reds also gave the young people their first experience of playing padel, co-ordinated a private screening of a film at a local cinema and treated the group to an amazing Cypriot banquet. These are experiences that some of our young people are seldom afforded, which will no doubt leave a lasting positive impression.
