Charity Football Match Raising Funds For Mountbatten

An Isle of Wight charity football match is hoping to raise funds for Mountbatten this Sunday (3).

The Ascensos Charity Challenge Cup 2022 will bring together staff from the company, battling it out for victory.

With UK operations in Motherwell, Clydebank and Cowes - and European operations expanding to Bucharest and Istanbul - the contact centre firm employs more than 2,700 people.

The family-friendly day in Cowes will also feature entertainment, bouncy castle and refreshments - as well as the grudge match.

A spokesperson for Ascensos said:

"Forget the FA Cup, Champions League and World Cup - this is the match of the season!

"Our Island 'A-players' have organised a match to fundraise for Mountbatten Hospice on the Isle of Wight! We have two great squads lined up so far - and even cheerleaders to boot!

"It's going to be a fun-filled day and family and friends will be more than welcome!"

The match is happening on Sunday (July 3) at Cowes Community Club from 1pm until 5pm. The match kicks off at 1.30pm.

Donations can be made on the day or via the JustGiving page https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/ascensos-fundraising-football-iow
