Businesses and groups in Lancaster have entered teams in this year’s Charity Corporate Football Tournament to support Tackle Africa and help raise money for the vital work they do.

With more team spaces available, the charity and event sponsor Digitap are calling out to other local companies to get involved and enter a team to help raise further funds.

This year’s event will take place at Lancaster University 4G pitches on Thursday, September 15 at 6pm, and local businesses and organisations already taking part include JWPC, Moore and Smalley, Mazuma Mobile, Fuuse, IT Works, Digitap, Digital State, The Golden Lion, Girls Grammar School and Ripley St Thomas.

With more teams expected to confirm in the next few weeks, it promises to be a fantastic evening with over 100 local footballers playing three hours of non-stop tournament football, aiming to beat last year’s fundraising total of nearly £5,000, and trying to be crowned as this year’s champions.
