After COVID-19 caused the cancellation of the London Marathon back in 2020, Niall Guite, a Special Olympics GB athlete, was determined to still raise much-needed funds for Special Olympics GB.

He set out to draw 26 football stadiums in the hope of raising £260. He’s done a bit more than that. Since March 2020, Niall has sold over 100 of his felt-tip illustrations – raising over £6,000 for the organisation that transformed his life. Any Art with a Special Goal profit received by Special Olympics GB is re-invested into the development Athlete Leadership and Social Enterprise to provide more opportunities to more athletes.

Eden Park is extremely proud to have purchased this Niall Guite original illustrating our national stadium. The Park is committed to being a welcoming, safe and inclusive venue for everyone, and our team takes great pleasure in supporting causes with shared values.
