Michael Carrick Foundation provides back-to-school packs for local children

Michael Carrick’s Foundation joined forces with Manchester United Foundation in its on-going response to the COVID-19 pandemic by supporting the latest donation of activity packs, with a focus on home schooling and returning to school.

The two foundations have been partnered since Carrick’s testimonial match in 2017, and the former midfielder’s charity funds the Street Reds project in Old Trafford, which offers free football and alternative activities to young people aged 8-19.

The packs are being donated to children around the Old Trafford and Stretford areas, in order to continue supporting those who may usually attend Carrick’s Street Reds, while sessions are currently postponed. The children are predominantly Year 6 pupils and many will be joining Stretford High School in September, a partner school of Manchester United Foundation.
