We have always had a passion for raising money for our local charity; this is Cynthia Spencer Hospice, based in Northampton. CSH has been our corporate charity of choice for over five years, and we have raised some great money for them. Our events have included a social media campaign called #SingforCynthia, cycle events and football events which we organise yearly.
This year was great to see so many local businesses attending our Silverstone Soccer event, which was held at Daventry Town Football Club. We had a lot of fun, and over £2000 was raised! The video below show's what we got up to on the day.
Scott Norville, Managing Director at Silverstone Leasing, said: "We are thrilled at the success of the second Silverstone Soccer event. Cynthia Spencer Hospice has been our charity of choice for five years.
"There's a lot of members of the Silverstone Leasing team who have had personal involvement with the hospice. We are fortunate to have such a fantastic charity local to us in Northamptonshire, and we want to do our bit to support it.
"This event was about raising money for a fantastic charity but also about getting people together after all the restrictions of the pandemic and having some face-to-face interaction. The level of play was terrific; many of the teams had been training for months, so the standard was excellent.
Nina Gandy, Corporate Partnerships Fundraiser at Cynthia Spencer Hospice, was on hand during the day to talk to the businesses taking part, which Silverstone Leasing hope will lead to more fundraising opportunities for the hospice with other companies.
She said: "The tournament proved a great success once again. It was brilliant to see a range of teams who played in the game back in February last year and new teams. The day had a great atmosphere, and everyone seemed excited to be back at a proper event again.
"Everyone who played, attended and donated raffle prizes will make a huge difference to our patients and their families. A huge thank you to Ryan, Scott and all the team for making this a success again."
In 2022 Silverstone raised £3231, which was a record amount, and now this year, 2023 we're at it again with our fourth times a charm.
