Story

UPDATE

The 2021 tournament was won by a fabulous team from Slung Low. We raised just under £500 to support homeless people and others in need with a personalisation fund to buy the extra bits and pieces needed to help people get back on their feet or get started in a new property.

There will be a 2022 tournament, please look for updates on social media and our website.

Barca-Leeds & Engage Leeds are proud to announce the inaugural Peter Richards Memorial Football Tournament sponsored by Abzorb.

The 5 a side tournament will be hosted on Friday 17th September 2021, 11am - 3pm at Football World, Pontefract Lane, LS9 0RA and we would love for your organisation to enter a staff and/or volunteer team.

Featuring teams from Leeds' charity and public sector, the tournament will be held in memory of our late colleague Peter Richards, who sadly passed away in 2020. Peter worked for housing and homelessness charities for over 30 years and dedicated his working life to making a positive difference in peoples lives. For the last 3 years of his life, Peter was the service manager at Engage Leeds helping people who have complex needs and are homeless or are at risk of becoming homeless. Outside of his work, Peter was a passionate football fan, supporting Arsenal as well his local non-league team, Bradford Park Avenue.

The entry fee for all teams is £30, with proceeds going to Peters Fund. Last year our incredible staff, volunteers and the wider public donated over £2,700, with all money raised providing a personalisation fund which made a huge difference in helping people to get back on their feet again. This included providing laptops and other tech for people to complete training courses, seek employment and receive counselling online, clothes for families and children, transport for people to get to vital appointments and delivery charges for household essentials such as cookers, washing machines and other white goods.
