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 £300 to Crohn's & Colitis UK.
City defender Jack Fitzwater revealed his colitis diagnosis in February this year, and he was joined by men's first team sports science intern Jack Craigie, who has Crohn's, 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.

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 at the Old Tiverton Road Co-op, and The Devon Yeoman pub on Beacon Lane. For more information about the scheme, please click here.
