CHARITY MATCH RAISES £650
Charity Football Match Raises £650 for Rainbow Trust
On a day filled with camaraderie, competition, and community spirit, Ladybridge Football Club played host to a remarkable charity football match, organised by James Hill and Ben Lee, that brought together players from Home Bargains stores across the North West and Yorkshire. The event raised an impressive £650 for the Rainbow Trust, a charity that provides vital support to families with seriously ill children.
The pitch was alive with energy as colleagues-turned-teammates laced up their boots and gave it their all—not just for the win, but for a cause close to many hearts. From first whistle to final goal, the match showcased not only athleticism but the power of collective impact.
A huge thank you goes out to:
• All the players who gave their time, talent, and team spirit to make the day unforgettable
• The fans who cheered from the sidelines and brought the atmosphere to life
• Ladybridge Football Club, for generously providing the facilities and helping the day run smoothly, a brilliant community club full of spirit lead by the gracious Steve Hill
• Referee Michael Ball, for officiating with fairness and professionalism
• The photographers, who captured the action and emotion of the day
• And once again, to the supporters and donors, whose generosity helped raise £650 for the Rainbow Trust
This match wasn’t just about football—it was about unity, purpose, and making a difference. Thank you to everyone who played a part in turning a simple game into something truly meaningful.
