CHARITY FOOTBALL MATCH IS A HIT ONCE AGAIN “The final figure is not quite in yet but with the addition of gift aid we have broken the ÂŁ3,000 mark. Our just giving page is still open and accepting donations. “We are looking at running the event again next year with even more things happening to get people through the door. “More live music, more stalls and a strongman/women competition to name a few.
THE second edition of a charity football match organised to raise awareness of male suicide was once again a resounding success. The day also raised a significant amount for a related charity. The Collins Cup took place at Look Local Stadium on Sunday August 4 and despite a grim forecast, the weather held until 6pm, allowing the match to be enjoyed by a bumper crowd. Male suicide is a problem which has affected many families in the north
of Sheffield in recent years and local man Lee Shepherd has organised the match in a bid to help. The match is in memory of Garin Collins, a friend of the event’s organiser, Lee Shepherd. Garin, originally from Edinburgh, was living in Australia but sadly took his own life in February 2018. He was a keen footballer, so the match is a fitting tribute. All proceeds from the day will go to Sheffield-based charity SToRMS (Strategies to Reduce Male Suicide).
But we can’t do this without support and sponsorship from local people and businesses if you Lee told Look Local: “The charity day would like to get involved please was a great success with a great turn get in contact. out considering the forecast.
