Fourth Foodservice Football raise over £2.5k

An annual charity football match has raised over £2,500 for Cancer Research.

Foodservice Football, which is organised by Dine Out publisher H2O Publishing, brings together peers from the foodservice and hospitality industries to raise money for Cancer Research while partaking in a 90-minute match. 

The fourth game of Foodservice Football took place at Cray Wanderers FC, the oldest club in London, on Thursday 18 June.

The match has been held annually since 2023 in memory of much-missed friend and H2O Publishing colleague Morag Wilson. This year's total raised was £2,530.

The game saw 30 players, plus a referee, from across foodservice and hospitality being managed by Dan Hillman of H2O Publishing and Marc Sumner, ex-H2O and now at Hupfer UK. The hard-fought friendly finished in a 4-2 win for Sumner’s side.

"Thank you so much to everyone who came along and either played or supported, helping us to raise over £2,500 for Cancer Research UK," says Hillman, who also organised the event. "It is an incredible charity that we are extremely proud to support.

"It was great to see the industry coming together to do some good and have fun at the same time. What a great way to remember Morag, who is much missed by all of us here at H2O, and I’m sure, everyone who knew her across the industry. We look forward to doing it again next summer."
