Champions of Change Charity 7-a-Side Tournament

3rd January 2026

On Saturday 3rd January, Champions of Change are bringing the community together for a charity 7-a-side football tournament and evening social — all in support of two incredible causes:

The Sunflower SEND Hub – helping families navigate the EHCP process and providing safe spaces for children without school placements. Providing SEND children with a place they can thrive.

The Evergreen CIC – offering access to private counselling, making vital support more affordable and cutting down wait times that can stretch to nearly 3 years on the NHS.
