Save the date, May 7th at Weston-Super-Mare AFC.
Combined Veterans UK FC v USA veterans in aid of Scotty‘s Little Soldiers.
Back in December 2020, ex-serviceman Jono Farrelly formed the Combined Veterans UK football club to initially play a one-off game to raise money for Blesma, a fantastic charity that provides support to limbless and injured veterans for life,
https://blesma.org/ the club raised an amazing £6,500 for the charity and the success of the event made Jono realise that many other worthwhile vital charities could also be helped so the easy decision was made to carry on and use football which is one of the biggest platforms in the world to highlight these amazing charities and give them the funding that they need.
The club went on to play an RAF veterans team last May and raised money for another wonderful charity called PTSD Resolution
https://ptsdresolution.org/ who assists those affected by Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
The next big event for the Combined Veterans UK Football Club will be their first international fixture on May 7th to be held at Weston-super-Mare A.F.C's
Optima Stadium against the USA veterans team.
The aim is to raise at least £10,000 in aid of Scotty’s Little Soldiers, an amazing charity that supports bereaved military children and young people by providing access to health and well-being support.
Please watch the advert below for the upcoming game featuring some of the amazing children who Scotty's Little Soldiers have helped in some way.
Weston's Optima stadium has a 3000 capacity with great facilities including an indoor and outdoor bar, hot food, and on the day they'll be lots of other fun activities going on for kids as well as an auction and raffles.
So come along and support your country and the armed forces Veterans community but most importantly the charity that offers fantastic support for our fallen brothers and sister's children.
