Builders’ merchants’ charity footie tournament a big success
Posted: Friday, June 14th, 2024
A charity five-a-side football tournament dedicated to raising funds for Teenage Cancer Trust kicked off at Tonbridge Angles FC with 60 enthusiastic participants. Teams from builders’ merchants across the South East included Chandlers Building Supplies Thanet and Chandlers Roofing Supplies Tonbridge; Parkers Building Supplies Maidstone, Worthing, Hove, and Bexhill; Fairalls Builders Merchants Gatwick and Godstone; and builder customer Kingsheath Construction. The combined team from Worthing & Hove won the tournament. Andrew Machin of Thanet’s Chandlers Building Supplies expressed his satisfaction with the event's outcome. “It was a great day, and we are thrilled to hand over these funds to Teenage Cancer Trust, a charity that plays a crucial role in supporting young people aged 13-24 with cancer.” The charity football tournament is not just a one-time event but part of Chandlers Roofing Supplies, Parker Building Supplies, and Fairalls Builder Merchants' ongoing philanthropic endeavours. This commitment is a testament to our shared values and our dedication to making a positive impact in our communities. Previous initiatives, ranging from marathons to gala nights, have collectively raised over £300,000 for the Teenage Cancer Trust, underscoring the enduring commitment of IBMG’s builders’ merchants to serve their communities and make a positive impact.
