Incredibly we are back for our 10th year, and ready to support this amazing charity once more.

I was fortunate enough to visit Senegal in 2022 and see first hand the work of the Tackle team on the ground, and the difference the money raised makes to young peoples lives.

We are putting our love of football to the ultimate test this summer by entering one of Tackle's Football Marathons - a unique fundraising event. Each year over 500 people take part in our regional 12-hour tournaments.

Tackle uses the power and popularity of football to deliver HIV and Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) information and services to young people on football pitches across Sub-Saharan Africa.

Change Lives

The money you and your team raise will improve countless young lives across sub-Saharan Africa where ignorance and myths about HIV, and lack of access to information and services for sexual health result in over a million preventable deaths every year.

The Football Marathons unite fans of the beautiful game through our shared love of football. Here in the UK, we use it to raise cash, and in Africa, we put that money into our sexual health through football programmes.

All donations are gratefully accepted however large or small, and your money really does make a difference.

Even better if you can come and support us on the day ....

Thank you in advance.

Tony

Team Captain
