The Matthew Hackney Foundation was formed by family and friends following the untimely passing of Matthew in 2010 a much loved son, brother and friend.

From supporting organisations that Matthew was involved with including local scout group, football and cricket clubs The Foundation saw a much needed requirement for mental health and wellbeing support for our local children and young people. Now The Foundation funds counsellors that visit local schools and is proud to be able to provide help to 35 schools supporting upwards of 40 children and young people each week.

The Foundation is very lucky to have many people willing to help with fund raising for the charity and it's because of this this we're able to provide this valuable service.

Liam is a close friend of the Hackney family and has chosen to support The Foundation through fundraising for his upcoming boxing event on the 1st December, there will be many of Liam's friends and family at the event on the night cheering him on!!

Many thanks Liam from all of us at The Foundation.
