We've scored Charity of the Year!

United by a shared commitment to our local community, our partnership with Wingate & Finchley Football Club will see us work together throughout the season.

Supporters of the football club will have plenty of opportunities to get involved, including:

• Bucket collections at every Wingate & Finchley home game at Summers Lane
• A festive shirt drive in December - donate a shirt and help make a difference
• A dedicated Charity & Community Day in March 2027

Every penny raised will go directly to North London Hospice, helping us continue to provide outstanding care and support to those who need it most.

Fiona Murphy, Community & Events Officer said: “We are so grateful that Wingate & Finchley Football Club have chosen us as their charity partner of the year. Like us, they were built by our community, for our community. It costs more than £16 million a year to run our charity and whilst around a third of this comes from the NHS, we rely on the generosity of the public to make up the shortfall in funding. Partnerships like these are vital to ensure that we can continue to be there for our patients now and into the future – together we are a winning team. Thank you for your support!”

Neil Jolliffe, General Manager, Wingate & Finchley FC said: "This one really means a lot to me personally. When we set out to find a charity partner this season, we didn't want it to feel like a box-ticking exercise. We wanted a genuine connection,  something that reflected who we are as a club and the community we're part of. North London Hospice is right on our doorstep, doing the most important work imaginable for families across North London. Partnering with them feels exactly right."

We look forward to working together throughout the season and thank everyone who supports this initiative.
