Charity football match set for Bank Holiday weekend

A charity football match is set to be held over the forthcoming Bank Holiday weekend in a bid to raise cash for good causes.

The Ship pub in Greasbrough will be holding the big kickabout at The Rec Playing Fields - S61 4RR - on Sunday August 30, beginning at noon.

The Ship Pub Football Team will take on The Ship Customers & Regulars in what promises to be a fun, family-friendly day, all in aid of mental health charity Mind, raising money and awareness for mental health and suicide prevention.

The pub is also raising funds to provide sensory toys for Bramley Sunnyside Junior and Infant School.

Event organiser Amy Pollock said: “This event means a great deal to our community.

“Over recent months, we have sadly lost several local people, and we wanted to bring everyone together to remember those we’ve lost, raise awareness, and show that no one has to face their struggles alone.

“We hope the day will encourage people to talk openly about mental health while raising vital funds for two incredibly worthwhile causes.”

As well as the live football there will be food and refreshments, music and entertainment, a raffle and giveaways, and activities for families and children.
