“With our partnership we are fully committed to raise as much awareness for the group as possible so they can continue to prosper and thrive with their commitments and extraordinary work that they do for our community on a daily basis.”
“With this in mind, we shall be taking advantage of our first home game of the UEFA Champions League qualifiers this coming Tuesday to kick of this awareness campaign and of which all gate proceeds will be donated to the group."

At Cancer Relief, we offer support to anyone affected by cancer in our community and provide a range of services to help those affected by cancer to live life to the full. This iniative, driven by Lincoln Red Imps, is invaluable in terms of increasing awareness of the work we do and helping us reach those who may need our support. All of us at Cancer Relief would like to say a huge thank you to Lincoln Red Imps for their support."
