Leicestershire based PTS kicks off charity partnership with high scoring event

PTS Enfield takes home the winning cup at PTS' 2010 5-a-side football challenge for the second year running held in Leicester, from PTS MD Kelvin Stevens (far right).

An impressive 36 teams turned up on Sunday 23rd May for the annual PTS 5-a-side football match, which raised a staggering £2,900 for Cystic Fibrosis Trust.

The teams which consisted of PTS and BSS Group staff, customers and suppliers came together at the Goals Soccer Centre in Leicester to see PTS Enfield crowned the overall winners for the second year running. Thanks to the number of teams entering and the surprisingly sunny weather, PTS managed to raise its biggest sum since the event began in 2005. 

Kelvin Stevens, PTS Managing Director, said: "This is a really fantastic event as it brings our staff, customers and suppliers together to support and raise awareness of a serious illness which is often misunderstood. We've managed to raise the biggest amount ever achieved at this annual event with the help of the teams entering and the organisation of other activities such as a raffle and cake stall. I'd especially like to thank Clare Evans, a Regional Stock Controller at PTS, for organising these events for the last five years.

"This is just one of many fundraising activities that's taking place across the company for Cystic Fibrosis Trust and kicks off what's destined to be a very successful partnership."

PTS teamed up with the Cystic Fibrosis Trust in April 2010 to help raise funds and awareness of the serious illness. Cystic Fibrosis is one of the UK's most common, life-threatening, inherited diseases which affects over 8,500 people in the country. The Cystic Fibrosis Trust is the UK's only national charity dedicated to supporting the treatment of Cystic Fibrosis and also funding the research into finding a cure.
