- Filbert and the team donated Fox Membership packs to Leicester Hospitals Charity staff
- The campaign is part of the Club’s sustained drive to engage with the community

Filbert, City's official mascot since 1992, has travelled across the globe over the past 26 years, attending over 1,000 matches and visiting schools and hospitals across the region.

Over the seasons, Filbert has met the likes of Kasabian, Cristiano Ronaldo and Ronaldinho, and he met even more special stars earlier this month.

His latest trip was a hit with excited children from 20 local nurseries and Leicester General Hospital, providing Leicester's favourite fox with an opportunity to meet supporters of all ages.

Children at the hospital received an Under-2s Fox Membership pack.

During the visits, Under-2s Fox Membership packs, filled with exclusive merchandise, were also passed onto children at Leicester Royal Infirmary by Leicester Hospitals Charity staff.

Don’t forget, Filbert will be at King Power Stadium on Saturday for the visit of AFC Bournemouth in the Premier League for the Club's Respect Fixture (3pm GMT kick-off).
