Bath City FC Charity football match BBC Radio Bristol & Somerset XI Vs Curo Housing XI

Mayday Trust Park – gates open from 12 noon

Sunday 21^st July 2013

KO 1pm

 

Cost: Donation on the day at the ground

Bath City Football Club has teamed up with BBC Radio Bristol & Somerset to raise money for CLIC Sargent with a charity football match on Sunday 21^st July.

The main event is a football match between BBC Radio Bristol & Somerset XI vs Curo Housing XI, kicking off at 1pm followed by an auction. The BBC’s team is made up of sports presenters Geoff Twentyman and Richard Hoskin, with a helping hand from former Bristol Rovers striker David Mehew, and Bristol’s television chef Dean Edwards.

The Curo football team play matches against other Social Landlords and Curo Suppliers such as Touchstone Property, Taylor Wimpey and Merlin Housing Society as a Social event mainly. However when Darren Scadding's 3 year old son, George, was Diagnosed with Cancer in June 2012 they looked at raising funds for CLIC Sargent who have provided a support network for the family and worked closely with Bristol Children’s Hospital. After a long battle George passed away on the 15th January 2013 and so a fund was set up in his name, where they have currently £6.5k and their target of £10k.

The money raised will go to charity very close to the staff at Curo. CLIC Sargent is the UK’s leading cancer charity for children and young people, and their families. They provide clinical, practical and emotional support to help them cope with cancer and get the most out of life. Kiren Fernandes, Fundraising Manger said “Since setting up Georgie’s Fund Darren and his family have raised almost £6,000 – which is absolutely fantastic! The money raised to date could fund a CLIC Sargent social worker for 8 weeks for families based in Bristol and Somerset. Our CLIC Sargent social workers are there from the moment of diagnosis, and help families understand and cope with the emotional, practical and financial effects of cancer, through treatment and even in the case of bereavement”. Darren commented on the work CLIC Sargent do, “everybody at Curo and CLIC Sargent have been supportive to me”. For those who can’t attend the day but want to donate to this great cause can do so online at www.justgiving.com/georgescadding just remember to include gift aid to help raise even more money.

Gates will open at 12 noon with a large car park at the ground, with food and drink available in the Charlies (main bar) with a burger outlet inside the ground. After the game in Charlies there will be chance to mix with the players and representatives of the charities followed by an auction.

More litter Cleared

Gerry Clearing up Highland Road

We continued our litter picking on Friday this week Councillor Gerry Curran and I cleared the footpath that runs from Freeview Road to Dominion Road in the morning and also cleared several bags of rubbish from the bottom of Hanna Close.

In all we collected three bags of rubbish from just this small area.

On Friday afternoon Councillor Gerry Curran also litter picked Highland Road and Landseer Road returning them to a clean state after being in a poor condition.

Gerry with help collected a further two bags of litter from this area, It would be helpful if residents would take a little more respect for their area.

We had a good clear up in Redland Park and Linley Close Garages yesterday 18th,

In Redland Park there are still many areas that need attention and we will return to these over the coming weeks.

In addition to this we are planning a good community Clear up of Redland Park followed buy a fun day sponsored by Curo later in the day we will post more details later.

Councillor Gerry Curran (pictured opposite) & Councillor Tim Ball carry out litter picks on a regular basis and if you want to join us just let us know and we will tell you where we are going.

 At Linley Close Garages we removed all of the litter that had been accumulating for quite a few months an also cleared the park area down to Shaws Way.

We hope that when we get the new recycling Centre relocated that a lot of this mess will stop happening.

We will also be approaching the local public house as many of their glasses were found in the car park area.

It is important that we all do our bit to help keep the community clean including the public houses in the area.
