Non-League Day was set up by James Doe, an SWR Guard based at Waterloo, in 2010, and has gone on to become a national success story. As well as increasing awareness of grassroots football around the country. Non-League Day’s has been partners with Prostate Cancer UK for 13 years; so far raising over £250,000 and increasing awareness of the most common cancer in men.
Each year, football fans head out to catch a game at their local non-league club, while Premier League and Championship football pauses for international fixtures. This year, Non-League Day will take place on Saturday 28 March.
We're always looking for new and innovative ways to support the communities that our network serves, and Non-League Day was an ideal opportunity to remind people that not only are most non-league clubs essential parts of their local communities, but that travelling to games by train is the greenest and most sustainable way of getting there.
So, whether you’re a Premier League or Championship fan without a game, a League One or League Two supporter who can’t make an away trip, or just someone who is curious about what their local club has to offer, there is sure to be something to interest everyone.
