What started as a friendly ‘kick about’ on Christmas Eve 14 years ago, has now turned into an annual ‘Christmas Eve Football’ fundraiser where we support charities that are close to the heart of members of our group whose families and friends have been sadly affected by illnesses or unfortunate circumstances.

Last year we raised an amazing record £2335 for Derian House Children’s Hospice, £2107 on Christmas Eve 2024 for Andy’s Man Club, £2020 the year before for The Brain Tumour Charity, £635 for Dementia UK in 2021, and £400 the year before for Cancer Research UK. In previous years we have raised money and donated food to local food banks, as well as donating food to our local homeless shelter on Christmas Eve. We’ve raised a total of £7,497 over the years, so this year we would like to break our record and raise £2503 to take our grand total to £10,000!!!

For our 2025 Christmas Eve Football match we have chosen to support ‘Breast Cancer Now’. Breast Cancer Now is the UK’s leading breast cancer charity, combining world-class research with life-changing support. They fund vital scientific breakthroughs, offer expert care and information, and provide a community for everyone affected by breast cancer.

By supporting Breast Cancer Now, you’re helping bring us closer to a future where everyone with breast cancer lives, and lives well.

You can make a huge difference.

Thank you for taking the time to read about our fundraising and Merry Christmas!
