Charity football tournament aims to bring community together in Buxton
This year’s tournament will support Bright Opportunities, a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to providing day care services and activities for adults with learning disabilities.
Football, fundraising and family fun will take centre stage in Buxton this summer as the Christeyns Intercompany Football Champions Cup, hosted this year by Christeyns Professional Hygiene UK, comes to the Silverlands Stadium for the first time in support of a local charity.
On Saturday 20 June from 10:00am, teams from across the Christeyns group will go head-to-head in the tournament, a friendly but competitive 11-a-side football event aimed at bringing people together while raising money for a vital local cause.
This year’s tournament will support Bright Opportunities, a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to providing day care services and activities for adults with learning disabilities. The charity plays a crucial role in improving quality of life, creating meaningful experiences, and offering ongoing support to those who need it most.
Tracey Green, Director at Bright Opportunities CIC / Enabling Services Ltd, said: “We’re incredibly grateful to everyone involved in organising the Christeyns Cup. Events like this make a real difference to the people we support, helping us continue to provide vital services, opportunities and experiences for adults with learning disabilities in our community.”
Organisers are encouraging residents from Buxton and the surrounding areas to come along, cheer on the teams and get firmly behind the Whaley Bridge-based side as they aim to lift the cup on home turf, while soaking up the atmosphere. With a welcoming, family-friendly environment, the tournament is set to offer an enjoyable day out for all ages.
The cause holds particular significance for organisers, as the work of Bright Opportunities directly impacts a member of the Christeyns Professional Hygiene UK team. This close connection underlines the real and lasting difference the charity makes to individuals and their families.
Those taking part in the tournament are invited to make a donation, while spectators are also encouraged to contribute on the day or in advance. Every contribution, no matter the size, will help support the ongoing work of Bright Opportunities and the people who rely on its services.
