Sellick Partnerships hosts 15th fundraising football tournament

Sellick Partnership is proud to announce the return of the Manchester Professionals’ Football League (MPFL), which will kick off its 15th charity annual tournament.

The event not only showcases the region’s sporting talent but also fosters professional networking, all while supporting St Ann’s Hospice.

Since its inception, the MPFL has raised £15,000 for the charity which provides care and support to patients and families in Greater Manchester that have been impacted by life-limiting illnesses.

On this milestone year, all proceeds from the tournament will once again go to St Ann’s Hospice, continuing Sellick Partnership’s longstanding commitment to making a positive difference in the community. This comes as St Ann’s Hospice is in the process of raising funds for a new, purpose-built hospice.

Ray Wareing, group director at Sellick Partnership and a proud member of St Ann’s Hospice’s fundraising board, said: “Reaching the 15th year of the Manchester Professionals’ Football League is a testament to the spirit of collaboration and generosity within our business community.

“This tournament isn’t just about football, it’s about connecting professionals, building relationships, and supporting a cause that touches so many lives. St Ann’s Hospice does vital work, and it’s a privilege to contribute to their mission.”

Anne-Marie Wynne, head of fundraising and capital campaign at St Ann’s Hospice said: “Sellick Partnership has supported the hospice for over 20 years across a variety of different charitable fundraising initiatives. To date, they have raised more than £100,000, a remarkable achievement that has had a profound impact on every service user, their families, and the exceptional staff who work tirelessly to provide compassionate care at the hospice.

“We are incredibly grateful for the ongoing support of Sellick Partnership which has enabled us to care for and support individuals living with life-limiting illnesses in Greater Manchester. Recent donations, which include the MPFL, have been in support of the brand new purpose-built hospice that will open in 2025 and we look forward to having their name on our wall as one of our funding partners for the development.”

Held annually in Manchester, the league unites professionals from various industries for seven weeks of friendly competition and networking, with games running each Thursday evening from January 9, 2025.

Sapphire Contracting is proudly sponsoring this year’s tournament, helping to bring together Manchester’s professional community while supporting the incredible work of St Ann’s Hospice.
