FAMILIES are invited to enjoy a family fun day and football matches being staged in aid of the Remembering Nell Foundation.

The foundation was set up in memory of Nell Jones from Goostrey, who was killed in the bomb explosion at the Manchester Arena last year.

The foundation is aimed at improving the lives and wellbeing of people in the north west.

On Saturday, June 2 Sandbach United Football Club is hosting charity football matches to raise funds for the foundation.

On the day a cheque will be presented to the foundation and a bucket collection will take place.

The day will be run as a family fun day, with face painting stalls, a barbecue, live music and radio, fun rides and raffles, with the main attraction being two football games.

Sandbach United Ladies will take on Crewe Alex Ladies and Sandbach United men’s team plays Crewe Alex Legends, made up of well- known Crewe players from over the years.

The cost of entry is £5 adult and £3 concession/child, and the event takes place at Sandbach United FC, Hind Heath Road, Sandbach, CW11 3LZ

The event runs from 1pm to 6pm, with kick off at 2pm, and tickets can be purchased online at buytickets.at/sandbachunited1
