Sands United FC Essex

Yesterday we played in the Macklans Charity match. Didn’t get the win, but we left it all on the pitch. We kept reminding ourselves why we were there — and we played every minute for our babies. Proud of the heart we showed 🫶🏼⚽️💙🧡

Well done everyone who played and everyone involved 👊🏻

Today, as we face Macklan FC, we come together for something far greater than football.
This match is dedicated to raising awareness, honouring families, and standing with every parent who has faced the heartbreak of stillbirth.

Please come and join us and show your support 🙌🏼

We’re so excited and proud to be part of this special charity match on Easter Sunday, 5th April ⚽️💙💗
Playing for our angels and raising money for the Blossom Suite at Broomfield Hospital, which does such amazing work supporting bereaved families.

It’s set to be a brilliant family fun day with football, food trucks, stalls, music, bouncy castles and more — all for an incredible cause

Please come along, show your support, and help us make a difference. Everyone welcome! 🙌🏼🫶🏼

Our first 11 a side game against Sands United FC Essex last night and what a laugh it was great atmosphere, was great seeing both teams come together for two great reasons and I guess ultimately getting men talking.

Thanks again for the game last night lads and keep on with your fantastic meaningful mission 💙
