Flextronics have been supporting Clatterbridge since April 2014 as their chosen charity partner. From family fun days to cake sales, the team at Flex have raised a phenomanal £26,000 to date helping Clatterbridge fund vital research, care & support services for over 30,000 Clatterbridge cancer patients & their families. 

The next event in the exciting calendar of charity fundraising, is the huge battle between Flex and Hollyoaks!!

Warrington Town FC Manager, Shaun Reid, will be putting team Flextronics through their paces in the weeks leading up to the game in a range of training sessions and has offered to get his boots dirty and play for them on the day.

Longest serving Hollyoaks cast member Nick Pickard, who has played Tony Hutchinson in the soap since it launched in 1995, is the frontman of the fundraising event event, along with Flextronics’, Joe Hitchmough.

Joe, the event organiser, said: “We wanted to do something family-friendly and fun which would raise money for Clatterbridge, so we came up with the idea of a charity football match and hoped that we could get some local celebrities to take part.

“I’d like to thank everyone who is donating their time and resources to this project. A lot of people have a great deal of affection for Clatterbridge at Flextronics and it holds a special place in the hearts of some of my colleagues. We also have some huge Hollyoaks fans, so there’s a lot of excitement around the match.”

The game kicks off at 7.30pm (gates open 6.30pm) with commentary from WireFM. The Golborne Brass Band will also be on hand to introduce the teams and a half -time performance will take place from dance group, Wigan Surpreme Starlights Cheerleaders.

All profits will be donated to The Clatterbridge Cancer Charity, registered charity number 1051727.
