Harlow Pirates Raise Over A £1,000 For St Clare Hospice

Recently, Harlow Town Pirates made a donation to St. Clare Hospice of £1,000. The money was raised during their annual charity walking football event. This was hosted by Harlow Town Football Club who donated the use of the pitch, their refreshment marquee and facilities for the afternoon.

Pirates supplied four teams and Bishop’s Stortford Walking Football Club fielded two teams in a tournament which was eventually won by the one of the Pirates’ teams. The money was raised from the playing fees and the raffle after play had ended and the Club would like to thanks those who took part and donated prizes.

Ellie Gale, Relationship Fundraising Manager at St Clare Hospice, said “We are incredibly grateful to everyone at Harlow Town Pirates for their amazing support. Raising £1,000 through this community football tournament is a fantastic achievement and will help us continue providing outstanding care and support to local patients and their families.”
