FOOTBALL CLUBS TEAM UP TO SAY
‘THANK YOU NHS’
NHS HOSPITALS FROM
ACROSS LONDON
PARTNERED UP WITH SOME
OF THE CAPITAL’S FOOTBALL
CLUBS TO TAKE PART IN A
SIX-A-SIDE TOURNAMENT
AS A THANK YOU FOR
THEIR AMAZING WORK
THROUGHOUT THE COVID
PANDEMIC.
To show their support and gratitude to NHS
staff, football charity London United, 14 football
club community organisations from the capital
- including QPR in the Community Trust - and
the 11 Foundation (set up by former professional
footballer Joe Cole and his wife Carly) joined
forces to organise the tournament.
The unique event at Gunnersbury Park on Sunday
5th September saw teams battling it out for the
United for NHS in London trophy.
The R’s, who were represented by a team from the
North Hammersmith and Fulham Primary Care
Network, reached the knock-out stages where
they were defeated by local rivals Brentford.
Cole said: “The NHS is a beacon for our country,
and Carly and I feel proud to help in any small way.
“The 11 Foundation and football clubs across
London are united in wanting to recognise the
sacrifices made by our NHS staff in the most
challenging of circumstances.
“We’ve been inspired by the bravery and spirit
of NHS staff throughout the pandemic and this
initiative was a brilliant way to use the power
of the football to celebrate NHS staff and
champion the vital role our hospitals play in every
community across the capital.”
