Football for Futures Raises £4,000 for Brighter Futures

Our Football for Futures 6-a-side tournament returned on Sunday 20 September, bringing together eight corporate teams for a fantastic morning of football, friendly competition and fundraising in support of Brighter Futures.

Held at Grainville Playing Fields, the tournament welcomed teams from Standard Bank, Hawksford, GSC, Geomarine, Summit, PwC, All Island Media and The Royal Yacht, with each team contributing a £500 entry fee.

Together, they raised an incredible £4,000 for Brighter Futures.

After a morning of competitive matches, All Island Media and PwC met in the final, with All Island Media securing a 1–0 victory to become our 2026 Football for Futures champions. Congratulations to the team on taking home the trophy!

A huge thank you goes to all eight teams who took part and embraced the spirit of the event, as well as everyone who volunteered, supported and helped us make the tournament possible.

Judith Hanson, Trusts and Grants Manager at Brighter Futures, said:

“Football for Futures was a fantastic morning, and we are incredibly grateful to all eight teams who took part.

“Raising £4,000 is a fantastic result for Brighter Futures. As a charity, we rely heavily on fundraising and the generosity of our community to continue providing our free programmes and one-to-one support.

“Every pound raised helps us to continue working alongside parents, carers, children and young people, helping to build stronger relationships, improve wellbeing and create brighter futures.”

The event also received some fantastic coverage from the Jersey Evening Post, helping to shine a spotlight on the support Brighter Futures provides and the difference local businesses can make when they get behind their community.
