Before kick-off, Jason Goodman from Virgin Atlantic’s Mindful Men Group will be giving a short talk about the group’s work and the importance of supporting mental wellbeing. We’re also proud to be championing mental health charities like

Campaign Against Living Miserably who continue to do life-changing work.

We’re excited to welcome Frederick Afrifa from this year’s BBC The Apprentice, who will be taking on a guest manager role and putting his motivational energy to the test! It’ll be the Battle of the Apprentices as Frederick goes head-to-head with fellow former Apprentice star Kayode Damali in a clash of charisma and tactics! Kayode will be dusting off his boots in a player-manager comeback - watch this space!

And that’s not all, Alex Irons from TalkSport will be joining us on the night to create some exciting social media content and help bring the event to life!

More information about Campaign Against Living Miserably: Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) take a stand against suicide. That means standing against feeling hopeless, standing up to stereotypes and standing together to show life is always worth living.

Every week 125 people in the UK take their own lives. CALM exists to change this - by offering life-saving services, provoking national conversation, and bringing people together to reject living miserably.

More information about Save the Children: Save The Children exists to help every child get the future they deserve. They make sure children stay safe, healthy and keep learning so they can become who they want to be. Virgin Atlantic support Save The Children’s Emergency Fund, providing access to healthcare, food, shelter and education, as well as utilising our planes and people where possible when disaster strikes.

Let’s come together for an evening of community spirit, great football, and raising funds for important causes.
