The only all girls football club in Gravesham has a new kit thanks to a funeral home.

The Co-operative Funeralcare in Milton Road Gravesend kick started Gravesham Girls and Ladies Football Club’s under 16s squad’s season off with a new kit in the traditional yellow and black colours.

Janet Thorndycraft, manager of the Co-operative Funeralcare, said: “As a business at the heart of the community, we wanted to give something back to the local community and this was an ideal opportunity."
