along with providing shelter for the Seaford Silver Band

day!

Sussex Crafters had been invited to attend, but due to

The entire day is in aid of The Teenage Cancer Trust,
Variety, the Children’s Charity,The Rainy Day Trust and
Seaford’s WOLO Foundation which supports families
affected by cancer. Sue McKinney, Chandlers Building
Supplies, said:‘The final celeb squad is a closely guarded
secret until the day of the match, so you’ll have to
be there to meet them! The day promises to be a
wonderful family day out, packed with excitement and
fun, and for very worthy charities too. So please do
come along – everyone is welcome.’

The football tournament and family fun day is the
brainchild of local builders merchants, Chandlers Building
Supplies, known for their charitable outreach program.

Tickets are just £3 for adults and £2 for children (under
