Big C Charity Football Match – Wroxham Football Club

Broads Tours by Norfolk Broads Direct has partnered with Big C, the local cancer charity, as headline sponsor for a charity football match taking place on Saturday 9 May at Wroxham Football Club.

The event will see a team of Norwich City football legends go head-to-head with Help Delete Cancer FC, a non-profit organisation dedicated to raising cancer awareness and creating positive memories through community sport and fundraising events.

Now in its third year, the much-anticipated fixture offers a fun, family-friendly day out, with football action, penalty shoot-outs, a raffle, family activities and refreshments. All funds raised on the day will go directly to Big C, helping to support local people affected by cancer.

Supporters can look forward to seeing former City favourites including Simon Lappin, Declan Rudd, Grant Holt, Mike Milligan, Ryan Jarvis, Kyle Callan-McFadden, Danny Crow, Michael Spillane and Rossi Jarvis.

Tickets will be available on the gate, priced at £10 for adults, £7 for OAP’s and £5 for children. Big C was established more than 45 years ago by two young men from Norfolk who, after having to travel to London for cancer treatment, found the journey itself often more difficult than the treatment. Determined to ensure others would not face the same isolating experience, they set out to raise funds so people in Norfolk could access the best possible cancer care and support closer to home.

More than four decades on, that ambition has become a reality. Big C has raised over £50 million to support local people affected by cancer, providing emotional, practical and physical support for patients and their loved ones.
In addition, Big C funds ground-breaking research at the world-renowned Norwich Research Park, helping scientists develop new and better ways to understand, diagnose and treat cancer research that makes a difference locally, nationally and internationally.

Established as a family-run attraction on the Norfolk Broads, Broads Tours by Norfolk Broads Direct has been welcoming locals and visitors to the waterways for generations and is proud to support initiatives that strengthen and support local communities.
