CACHSF, A Short History The Caribbean and African Community Health Support Forum (CACHSF) was formed in May 2010. Our objectives are to address the health and wellbeing issues which impact disproportionately on the Caribbean and African community living in Suffolk. We achieve this by engaging and enabling people from these communities to access/receive culturally appropriate health and wellbeing information via targeted initiatives such as health seminars,
of becoming more self-reliant by organising and implementing fundraising initiatives which will enable us to continue with our planned activities/projects. To be able to achieve our objectives and ensure the sustainability of our service delivery for the future, we need to have fundraising as part of our key objectives.
Our Hypertension Awareness Event
health awareness courses, projects and community events. The work of the CACHSF was initially funded via a grant from the Department of Public Health (Suffolk) from 2011 to 2014 as part of its Healthy Living Project initiative.
This special Charity event is part of our long term commitment in raising funds to support our on-going work, so we would be able to better serve the community that we work with and for. If you would like any further information about our work or to become a member of the CACHSF, please contact us using the following details:
CACHSF is now a registered charity, but the financial support we once received from our main funder (NHS Suffolk Department of Public Health), has now ceased. However, our long term aim is to continue to build upon all the good work that CACHSF has initiated and delivered over the last five years.

Celeb FC in national & local news stories along with guesting on Radio & a number of online news sites & Video-logs. Celeb FC contributed to over £25000 being raised for Small UK Charities. In 2014, we played 15 games (with many more requests to play, but without funding, we were limited). Karin and the players spoke on The Football Talk Show for Harlow Radio numerous times and also on Sky TV at The Chrissy B Show (Sky Channel 203).
Every summer, there are always a number of Celebrity Charity Football games happening throughout the UK. Early 2013 a group of celebrity football players, who had been playing at various charity events for many years, ended up at an event which Karin, now affectionately known as Team Mum was volunteering at and helping to organise. After the match, when the celebs & Karin were sitting & discussing the game, the subject of funding for such events arose. A number of the Celebs felt it wasn’t right that people attending were donating to charity events, unaware that some of those donations were being paid as fees to the organisers, celebs & venues.
Some players were on National TV as part of The Voice (Leo & Ryan). BigBrovaz appeared on Channel 4 & were on stage at various Festivals where Celeb FC were invited as VIP guests. We contributed to raising circa £35000 during this year. 2015 saw 7 games played in our new strip, thanks to new Kit Sponsors – Patriot Sports. Charities supported in this year included Little Eden, Help for Heroes, Prostate Cancer UK, The Jude Brady Foundation, & others.
Story so Far In 2013 Celeb FC played in 6 matches and secured sponsorship for the kit thanks to Teamstats.
We contributed to circa £25000 being raised.
Celeb FC played in the Football Supporters World Cup at the London Soccer Dome in November 2013 – Where the World Cup Adverts were being filmed. Celeb FC appeared
