Build The Nest
The campaign to raise the final £1m needed to start work on Phase 2 of development at The Nest launched earlier this month, and the Manchester United fixture on the Sunday gave us the chance to put the campaign into the spotlight.
The team wore the Build The Nest hashtag on their shirts, thanks to space donated by the club’s Principal Club Partner Dafabet. An exact total raised from the game’s various fundraising initiatives – including the ground collection, corporate auctions, sales of merchandise and matchday programmes – will be announced in due course.
