Athona Recruitment, a specialist medical, education, health and nursing recruitment company based in Brentwood, Essex have organised a charity football match against leading recruitment software provider Microdec Plc.
The football match which will be held on Saturday 26th July at Brentwood Town F.C has been organised in aid of Athona’s chosen charity of the year, Little Havens, a local children’s hospice that provide respite breaks, symptom control and end-of-life care to children and their families suffering with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions.
Match organiser at Athona, said, “As part of our Corporate Social Responsibility, Athona Recruitment is committed to raising vitally needed funds for Little Havens Children’s Hospice. The charity costs around £2.5million a year to provide unique and vital services entirely free of charge to all families in need of them.” He continued, “We set a goal to raise £10,000 by the end of July 2014 and have successfully managed to hit our target ahead of schedule with the support and help from our employees, their family and friends as well as the local community and businesses . To help continue to exceed our target, Microdec have kindly agreed to take part in our charity football match.”
Mark Bowyer Commercial Director at Microdec, said, “When Athona told us about the football match, we couldn’t wait to get involved for such a worthy cause. Little Haven’s provide an invaluable service to families whose lives have been turned upside down by life-limiting illnesses. Athona have done an amazing job to raise so much money for them already and we are honoured to help them get beyond their target.”
Athona’s organiser said; “It is going to be a fantastic day out for all the family, with entertainment, raffle and refreshments available at the clubhouse. Tickets are available to purchase for £3.00 in advance or you can buy them for £5.00 on the day.”
