IN WHAT has become an annual and welcome fundraising event, Silverstone Leasing’s fourth five-a-side football fundraiser raised more than £2000 for the local Cynthia Spencer Hospice.
Businesses from across Northamptonshire took part in the event at Daventry Football Club, which was won by Euro Building and Maintenance Contractors who scored an impressive hattrick win, taking the trophy for the third successive year. Stonhills Estate Agency was the runner up.
In total, Silverstone Soccer has raised more than £8400 for Cynthia Spencer Hospice since its inception just before the pandemic in 2020. The charity drive is the brainchild of Ryan Bishop, sales manager at Silverstone Leasing, who has combined his love of football with his local business contacts to raise money for the hospice.
We are over the moon to have raised such an incredible amount of money through Silverstone Soccer over the last four years for the amazing team at Cynthia Spencer Hospice. The families who need the services of the hospice are going through unimaginable pain and heartache and Cynthia Spencer does such valuable work in supporting them when they need it most.
Silverstone Soccer is fantastic for those who like a kickabout, as well as those who want a fun and lively way to network. We enjoy hosting the event as much as the participants enjoy playing. I’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone that has supported the event, not just in 2023 but over the years. It is wholly appreciated by us and by the hospice.
Nina Gandy, corporate partnerships fundraiser at Cynthia Spencer Hospice, added: “Silverstone Soccer has established itself as a key fixture in the corporate events calendar benefiting Cynthia Spencer Hospice. Ryan and the team at Silverstone Leasing put on a remarkable event each year, consistently exploring ways to enhance support and fundraising efforts.
“In the past four years, the event has generated an impressive amount equivalent to more than 16 days of care for our hospice patients. Our partnership with Silverstone Leasing is one we deeply value. Without their unwavering support, the continuity of our services would be greatly compromised.”
