Skipton Together Football Club has announced a new fundraising partnership with Sue Ryder Manorlands Hospice, with every match from now until summer 2026 supporting local hospice care.
The charity football club, known for its support of community causes, will dedicate each fixture to the Oxenhope hospice, aiming to raise approximately £500 each month. Special events are also planned, including a high-profile game against Bradford City veterans and a season finale at Silsden featuring an all-star veterans’ team and family funday, with hopes of raising thousands at each.
Richard Osadzenko said: “We chose to support Sue Ryder Manorlands Hospice because of the incredible impact it has had across Skipton and Craven. Many of our players and supporters have personal connections to the hospice, and it’s a cause that really resonates throughout the club and wider community. We couldn’t be prouder to be supporting such an incredible organisation that means so much to so many of us.”
Sue Ryder Manorlands Hospice provides expert palliative care and bereavement support to people across West Yorkshire, helping families navigate some of life’s most difficult moments.
Adam Brunskill, Senior Community Fundraiser at Sue Ryder, said: “We’re incredibly grateful to Skipton Together FC for choosing to support Sue Ryder Manorlands Hospice this season. Their commitment and creativity will make a real difference to the people we care for, and we’re excited to cheer them on every step of the way.”
