Manchester City and City in the Community shared festive joy this Christmas by donating thousands of bespoke PUMA footballs, everyday essential items and hours of volunteering to support members of its local community.

As part of the ‘This City Loves Christmas’ campaign, the Club and City in the Community funded and delivered a PUMA football to every primary school child in East Manchester and every child in foster care.
