'This is about looking beyond football rivalries and about solidarity with people right across communities.'
A new collective is hoping to bring football fans together to support local foodbanks throughout the cost of living crisis.
Speaking to Belfast Live about the initiative in Northern Ireland, Paul Doherty said: "We are seeing far too many individuals across our communities struggling to put food on the table and heat their homes and rather than talk about it, we want to do something practical to give a helping hand to people.
Looking to the future, the team behind Fans Supporting Foodbanks NI are hoping to hand the initiative over to fans to empower them to support communities surrounding their ground. "We would love all the Irish League clubs, GAA clubs and sporting associations to get involved and we are currently reaching out to them all.
