We lost one of our own.

Tom Beevers was 32 years old when he sadly took his own life on 31st December 2021, leaving behind devastated friends and family including 2 young children.

We, as a Wetherby football team who played with him every week, are heartbroken; that we couldn’t help, that we didn’t see the signs and that there are two kids growing without a father.

Spurred on by this, we have decided to set up something that Tom loved doing; playing a lot of football.

We are playing football for 24 hours non-stop.
Friday 6th May (6pm) until Saturday 7th May (6pm).
24hrs of football.
7 aside
£20 per player entry.

All donations collected as team entries and on the day, will be set aside for when the children are older.
All donations collected via JustGiving will go to PAPYRUS Prevention of Young Suicide.

PAPYRUS Prevention of Young Suicide is the UK charity dedicated to the prevention of suicide and the promotion of positive mental health and emotional wellbeing in young people. Suicide is the biggest killer of people aged 35 and under in the UK. PAPYRUS delivers suicide prevention education and training packages to thousands of people each year, to create suicide-safer communities across the UK

 Thank you in advance for your support. We need as much support as possible to firstly, set this up and then secondly, to try and score as many goals as Tom did during the football!
