Industry raises funds for brain tumour charity

Alliance Leisure has helped to raise £6,000 for Brain Tumour Focus, a new charity established by fitness industry professional Mel Crossland following her brain tumour diagnosis. Alliance hosted its inaugural charity football tournament at Derby Racecourse Football Hub, which saw 16 teams from across the leisure and construction sector competing for the title of tournament champions.

Companies taking part in the day included CGP MEP, Curo Construction, Etec, FMG Consulting, Gladstone, Hadron, Hensall, Indigo Fitness, Pellikaan, Prospec, Roberts Limbrick, Speller Metcalfe, TG Escapes, The Sports Consultancy and Universal Group. The event was also supported by a host of sponsors, such as Prospec, The Sports Consultancy, Etec Group, Hensall, Universal Group, CGP MEP, Gladstone, Curo Construction, Speller Metcalfe and Pellikaan.

FMG Consulting were overall champions, with Alliance Leisure winning the “Europa Cup”. John Leaver, Marketing and Frameworks Director at Alliance Leisure, organised the tournament.

Leaver said: “We were blown away by the incredible support for the event and would like to thank everyone for their generosity. I’m so proud of the funds we’ve raised for Brain Tumour Focus.”
