Over 600 pieces of football kit are now on their way from West Berkshire to Africa.

The shirts, shorts, socks and tracksuit tops which used to belong to players at AFC Newbury have been handed over to the RAF Football Association.

They'll transport the clothing to either Kenya or Tanzania where it'll be given out to local schoolchildren.

Squadron Leader Neil Hope told Newbury Sound what it means to the children in Africa who receive the kit: "They literally have the clothes they're standing in and even those clothes are shabby compared to our standards.

"In this country of course children always expect to have the latest shirts, the latest gear, but out there they don't have any footwear, they use footballs that are plastic bags rolled up and tied by string. When they get a football kit, especially kits like these, they're absolutely overjoyed."
