Celebrity charity football match at Maidstone United Football club on Friday 27th November 2026 - 7.30pm kick off

SELLEBRITY SOCCER COMES TO MAIDSTONE UNITED FC

Our Celebrity Charity Football match at Maidstone United Football Club on Friday 27th November 2026 with a 7.30pm kick off in loving memory of Paul Church, who sadly lost his battle with cancer in May last year.

Paul was an incredible husband, a devoted dad to our four young children, and a much loved friend to so many. He faced cancer with remarkable courage and strength, and this match is our way of celebrating his life while raising money for two charities that supported our family through the most difficult chapter of our lives and continue to do so today.

The Chris Aked Foundation stood by throughout Paul’s illness, offering support and precious memory-making experiences that gave us the opportunity to create lasting memories together as a family. They continue to support our children today through bereavement support..

The Ellenor Hospice was also there for us throughout Paul’s illness and continues to support me and our children with bereavement support, helping us navigate life without Paul.
