Charity Football Tournament Held

In 2006 St Mary’s University College introduced The Shooting Stars Children’s Hospice Charity 6-a-side Football Tournament, which consists of 8 teams in a knockout-style format. This tournament was designed to raise awareness for the charity.

The Shooting Star Children's Hospice provides care, support and advice for children and young people with life-limiting conditions and their families, free of charge, 365 days a year across the western half of London and north Surrey.
 
In the first year of the tournament £360 was raised. This has become an annual event in the St Mary’s sporting calendar and last year’s tournament raising £1,170. This year £1,200 was raised for the Hospice.

The tournament was organised by Sue Whitham of Student Services, the Chaplaincy and AU President Jason Arday with help and support from the Sports St Mary’s Team.

Jason Arday (pictured below, centre) said, "Through the tournaments and various other fund-raising events, we have managed to raise just over £4,000 within the last three years. I would like to thank everyone for all their continued help and support."
