Charity Requests for Signed Merchandise

Leeds United receives in excess of 400 requests per week requesting signed merchandise to help raise funds for charities and for individual causes.

Because the demand exceeds the amount of signed merchandise we receive, we have created a policy to ensure signed merchandise is distributed fairly and that the profits for the charity reach the maximum level.

Therefore please read our Charity Policy before requesting a piece of signed merchandise to enable us to process requests quickly and efficiently.

Also please see Charity Support 2004-05 before making a request. This section details the current charities we support in a variety of other ways. If your charity request is for one of these charities, it is unlikely we will support the request as we are already helping them. This avoids any duplication and makes it a fair process.

If you feel your request meets the requirements of the Charity Policy then please send you request in writing, giving full details of the event you are holding, which charity will benefit and your contact details no later than one month prior to when the merchandise is needed (e.g. in time for a fundraising auction) to:-
