⚽ Football, fundraising and a fantastic atmosphere! 🙌

On Saturday, we were delighted to provide the venue for a charity football tournament organised by Furness Building Society , bringing local businesses together for a great cause.

Teams from BAE Systems, Furness Building Society, Joss Engineering and Oxley took to the pitch, with plenty of competitive spirit along the way! ⚽

After a closely fought tournament, the final went all the way to penalties, with BAE Systems taking the win! 🏆👏

It was brilliant to see so many family members and friends come along to support, cheer on the teams and create such a great atmosphere.

A fantastic day for a great cause, and a pleasure for us to host! 💙
