Cans4CIty, the recycling scheme which turns empty aluminium cans and tins into funds for the club, has made it's latest donation to an important cause, giving £200 to Crohn's & Colitis UK. 

This is the scheme's second donation to the charity after they donated £300 a couple of seasons ago.

City defender Jack Fitzwater revealed his colitis diagnosis a couple of years ago, and he was joined by men's first team player Reece Cole, where the condition is in his family, to receive the cheque from Cans4City. 

Fitzwater's story resonated with many, who shared their own diagnosis, and even encouraged one young Grecian to return to watch at St James Park, after months of being too embarrassed to attend matches, and Cans4City were delighted to use the funds raised from their latest recycling haul to help support the work of Crohn's & Colitis UK.

Cans4City have also supported other charities recently which include Team EVO and Andy's Man Club.

You can support Cans4City by dropping off your empty cans at one of the scheme’s recycling collection points, which include the Fan Zone at St James’ Park, as well as other local locations. For more information about the scheme, please click here.
