Giving Back with Purpose
Every year, at the end of July, the MRJ team hosts our 5-a-side charity tournament, swapping placements for passes to raise money for an incredible cause.
The event brings together local businesses, company teams, and individuals who want to have fun, play some football, and make a difference. All proceeds go to The Christie Charity, supporting vital work in the community.
Expect a day full of footie, friendly competition, and fundraising, powered by the MRJ community. Whether you’re looking to sponsor, compete, or simply get involved, there’s a place for you.
Join us as we combine sport, community, and giving back, and help us make a real impact every summer.

Who Are We Fundraising For?
Formed in 2021 during the height of the pandemic, our Footie Fundraiser was created to help raise money for The Christie Charity.
The Christie Charity raises money and receives donations on behalf of those affected with cancer in order to make sure they can receive outstanding care, leading treatments, and the best outcomes.
The organisation raises money for a range of vital projects and initiatives focusing on four main areas: research, care and treatment, education and extra patient services.
We’ve raised just shy of £25,000 so far, with the aim of reaching as close to £30,000 as possible…but we need your help!
