The aims of the Jimmy Hill Legacy Fund which had it's public launch on Saturday during the game with Shrewsbury Town, are as follows:
- To provide activities for children and adults with disabilities (through activities run by SBitC)
- To provide opportunities for disadvantaged children and young people in Coventry and Warwickshire (delivered by SBitC)
- Support and increase the activities on match days in the Sky Blues Family Zone (run by volunteers)
- To provide small grant awards to local voluntary and community organisations
All aspects of the programme will be managed and administered by Sky Blues in the Community (as a registered charity) and any funds raised will be formally identified in the charity’s audited accounts as ‘Designated Funds’
