Bury FC is proud to announce a dedicated Month of Action in support of Mind the national mental health charity, with a series of fundraising matches and community events aimed at promoting mental wellbeing and reducing the stigma around mental health issues.
Kick-off at the Annual Fun Day – Saturday 21st June
The campaign begins during our much-loved Annual Fun Day on Saturday, 21st June, with two exciting charity matches:


Bury FC Supporters Team vs Holly’s Hearts
Bury FC Men’s Recreational & Vets vs MAN v FAT FC (Bury)


All proceeds from these matches will go directly to support the work of Mind at a local level, helping them provide essential services and support to those in our community who need it most.
Pre-Season Fixtures Dedicated to Mind – 12th & 13th July
As part of our pre-season window, we’ll be turning the spotlight on mental health again over the weekend of Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th July:


Saturday: Bury FC Men vs Chester FC
Sunday: Bury FC Women vs Chester FC Women (FSA Community-Owned Women’s Cup)


At both matches, representatives from Mind will be present and bucket collecting throughout the day. We encourage all fans to give generously and support the vital work this charity does.

We are delighted to confirm the signing of Kai Evans from Nantwich Town for an undisclosed fee.

The 21-year-old attacker joins the Shakers on the back of a standout 2024/25 campaign, in which he scored 17 goals in the Northern Premier League West Division.

Evans started out at Stoke City before joining his hometown club Wrexham in 2021. He made just two first-team appearances for the Red Dragons before being released two years later.

In 2023, Evans signed for Nantwich, where he soon established himself as one of the most promising talents in non-league football.

In his first season in Cheshire, he scored 18 goals in 45 appearances across all competitions and won the club’s Young Player of the Season award.



A skilful forward with an eye for the spectacular, Evans netted a further 17 goals and provided six assists in 39 appearances last term, helping Nantwich to an eighth-placed finish. In addition to being the Dabbers’ top scorer, Evans won the club’s Player of the Season and Goal of the Season awards.
Evans was also recently named the NPL West Division’s Young Player of the Season, the NPL’s Rising Star, and runner-up in the NPL Supporters’ Player of the Season award. His stellar performances also earned him a place in the NPL West Division Team of the Season.

Upon signing, Evans said: 
Dave McNabb added: 
Evans becomes our sixth summer recruit, joining Scott Duxbury, Callum Spooner, Owen Robinson, Kieran Glynn and Kieran Lloyd in moving to Gigg Lane.

The signing is subject to NPL & FA approval.
