The boys are on tour, but we need your support Due to their footballing journeys so far one thing the lads have never had the opportunity to do is a tournament away. In their last year of junior grassroots football we'd love them to experience this and in the famous Blackpool! Please support us in making this happen and getting the boys to Blackpool Any donation is greatly appreciated https://lnkd.in/ecaVNvCr

⚽ Calling all #footballers! ⚽ We are organising a #charity football match at the #EcoPowerStadium on Thursday 9th May and I'm now recruiting for our 24 player Eco-Power Collective squad 💪 We will be taking on the #Doncaster 100 club members with a 5pm ko. If you are interested in playing for us, for two very worthy causes, drop me a message or an email.

We have Sir Curtly Ambrose and Courtney Walsh, one of the most legendary bowling partnerships in the history of cricket, with Lashings through July 2024. If you are involved with a company, charity or sports club and would like to talk about booking the duo for either Q and A, personal appearances or coaching - please do contact me direct 🏏🏏🏏

It’s been a week and we’re not done yet. We’re usually head down, tail up as it were, doing what we do. Anything else is money / effort is wasted in helping those who come to us. But sometimes we’re need a lifter; a reminder…. So on Monday #federalgolfclub hosted the 2nd #sleepingrough golf tournament. Federal’s Golf Pro #mattmillar had brought it all together these past months. 140 played and over 160 attended the fundraising auction…. We also showed a video of Matt experiencing some of our front line services a few weeks back. A 20 hour day for some of my team and others at Vinnies, but to know the room was full of people, gave us a rare lift in person on behalf of all of us. Thank you.💕

Last week, it was football. This week, staff and students played netball in preparation for a charity tournament in a couple of weeks! There were many fouls and mistakes (all by the boys), but by the end, I think we started to make some progress—top work coaching this rabble by Solent 1st team netballer Willow Barna (patience of a saint - staff are definitely the worst students 🤣).

This is my son Ben, Ben sadly lost his life in july 2022 whilst on holiday with his family This left all who new him devastated and empty. As a family we decided to raise money for the local rugby Leigh East the team Ben played for to allow all 14 years old's thru to and including open age to get heart screening which helped detect some abnormalities and saved other families go thru the same devastating loss as ourselves. Bens uncle and his friends are this year doing a grueling challenge to help raise money to do the same for Bens cousins team and other at the Golborne Parkside arlfc club. If any of my contacts would like to donate it would be really appreciated ,we are trying our best to detect heart abnormalities for the people who love playing the sport of rugby
