Newcastle United co-owner Jamie Reuben’s gesture to match every single home-match-day donation to the NUFC Fans’ Foodbank will continue next season. The renewed move to do so, will ‘make a real difference’ to those in need, says the charity.
The Reuben Foundation has backed the charity since the club was taken over by Jamie alongside Amanda Staveley, Mehrdad Ghodoussi and the Public Investment Fund. They will continue to do so during the 2022-23 campaign.
Having matched every donation since the group’s very first game - against Tottenham back in October 2021 - and following the final home game of the season against Arsenal, more than £140,000 has been raised between fans and the foundation. Reuben and Ghodoussi visited the foodbank stall outside the stadium before the game with Arsenal and met volunteers to thank them for their hard work.
