Ibstock Football Teams Unite to Raise £3084

22nd October 2024

Despite rain pouring down all day, Ibstock’s charity football event was a huge success, raising an impressive £3084 for our charity. Held as a celebration of football and community, the event saw 12 teams from Ibstock branches across the country come together for a day of friendly competition.

The winning team, Birtley, showcased their skills on the pitch and took home the top spot. Football was the chosen sport because it’s a passion shared by many at the factory and an activity that everyone could get involved in.

The event was organised in support of a cause close to the hearts of Ibstock employees: “Mental health is something we are all very passionate about,” said Wendy Baumgartner, Ibstock employee. “Raising awareness and supporting this cause is hugely important to us as a company.”

After the tournament, participants gathered at The Beech Pub and Hotel for a BBQ and drinks, creating a relaxed atmosphere for teams to socialise and celebrate. Awards were also given out for Man of the Match and Best Goal Scorer, adding an extra touch of fun and recognition to the day.
