In Pictures: Charity football tournament in Peterborough raises hundreds for two good causes

Several Peterborough businesses signed up for the 5-a-side football event – which took place on September 16, on Gladstone Park Community Centre’s astroturf.

It was organised by Jensen Group Solutions – a security solutions firm based in the city.

A company spokesperson said: “The tournament brought together local businesses, colleagues, friends, and football fans for an evening of fun, energy, and friendly competition, all in support of two amazing charities: Inspire+ and Head to Toe.

“After plenty of exciting matches – and some spectacular goals - the night ended in a thrilling final where Sitewatch took the victory over Ctec to lift the winners’ trophy.

"Congratulations to all of the teams for putting on such a fantastic display of teamwork and sportsmanship.”

The money raised will be split equally between Inspire+ – supporting young people’s health, education, and wellbeing, and Head to Toe – which supports people receiving mental health, community, and social care.

The spokesperson went on: “We want to say a huge thank you to everyone who played, supported, donated, and cheered on from the sidelines. The atmosphere was electric, the sense of community was inspiring, and together we’ve made a real difference. With the help of everyone involved, we successfully raised £675 for both charities, which is more than we were hoping for.”

They added: “We believe in the power of bringing people together and this event showed exactly what can happen when community spirit meets a great cause.”

The companies who took part were: Jensen Group Solutions, iSigns, Dragonheart Homes, Edmundson Peterborough, JDF Electrical, Aragon, CTec and SiteWatch.
