Gallery: Stars train for very first Palace Aid

Events and venue hire

2 Jun 2023

The line-up for the very first Palace Aid charity match at Selhurst Park is locked in, and preparations well and truly underway.

The game – which kicks-off at 12:45 BST on Saturday (3rd June) – will see two fantastic squads of celebrity fans and ex-players vie for the inaugural Palace Aid trophy, in support of the Palace for Life Foundation.

Taking place as part of the 11th annual Crystal Palace Beer Festival, all money raised at Palace Aid goes towards helping the Foundation change the lives of even more young south Londoners, a mission they have been fulfilling for over 25 years now. Find out more here.

Please note, the Beer Festival is open to Over-18s only.

What can a donation achieve?

The average cost of a pint in London is about £6 and for just that, the Foundations could get a participant a pair of shin-pads, or ear defenders to prevent sensory overload.
If you buy the Foundation a round, they can go even further. £25 would cover the cost of an hour session of football coaching in a special needs school or a one-hour Premier League Kicks session.
A £100 night out would allow the Foundation to buy a session kit bag (12x footballs, 50 x cones 20x bibs), a day of workshops to empower, inspire and develop leadership qualities in girls or an FA Introduction to coaching course.
