CONGRATULATIONS to Ryan Bishop and the Silverstone Leasing team for another highly successful charity raising football event.
The fifth annual Silverstone Soccer charity event raised more than £3,000 for Cynthia Spencer Hospice on Sunday (23 June, 2024).
Ten teams battled it out on pitch in the five-a-side fundraiser at Daventry Town Football Club. Stonhills Estate Agents took the much-coveted winner’s trophy, while Betchle UK were runners up.
The popular event, which has raised thousands of pounds for its nominated charity partner Cynthia Spencer Hospice since its inception in 2020, wasn’t all football.
There was also family fun activities including a bouncy castle and Silverstone Leasing’s Managing Director Scott Norville offering a personal car wash service.
Organiser of Silverstone Soccer 2024 and the broker’s Leasing Sales Manager Ryan Bishop said: “This year felt more special with it being our fifth consecutive year. It was great to see so many of our teams arriving with their families so everyone could feel part of the day, whether that meant getting their car washed by Scott’s Soapy Suds or letting the kids enjoy the bouncy castles.
“The highlight of the day for me was seeing lots of teams that have played in the past come back to support us again, as well as having three new teams get involved this year.
“Silverstone Soccer isn’t just a football tournament, it is a well-regarded, community focused, impactful charity event that we are very proud to spearhead. Thank you to our headline sponsors All Things Business, gold sponsors Acorn Analytical Services and everyone who joined in to raise such a fantastic amount of money for a very worthy charity.”
Nina Gandy, Corporate Partnerships fundraiser at Cynthia Spencer Hospice, said: “Silverstone Soccer once again proved to be a hugely successful event! A massive thank you to Ryan, Scott and the rest of the Silverstone Leasing team, we really appreciate your dedication, it takes a lot of hard work to organise events like this and raise a considerable amount of money, allowing our patients to be cared for with dignity, and helping them to live every moment.”
