A charity football match will take place at Kilwinning Sports Club on Sunday 6 September 2026, with a 3pm kick-off, bringing together players, friends, families, local businesses and the wider community to raise money for Team Jak Foundation and ANDYSMANCLUB.
The event is being organised through Ardeer Thistle Sundays, with the support of PureBuilt Ltd, with all money raised being split between the two charities.
The idea came from seeing first-hand what can be achieved when a group of people get together behind a worthwhile cause.
One person involved had previously organised a charity football match which raised a lot amount of money, and it was thought another event that could make a genuine difference.
Team Jak and ANDYSMANCLUB were chosen as beneficiaries because they support two causes which affect an enormous number of families and communities across Scotland.
Team Jak provides emotional, social and practical support to children and families affected by childhood cancer, including through its Jak’s Den facilities and programmes across Scotland.
ANDYSMANCLUB is a men’s suicide-prevention charity providing free peer-to-peer support groups and working to break down the stigma around men talking about their mental health.
Football has the ability to bring people together and this power is being used to raise awareness and potentially encourage someone to reach out for support when they need it, then the event has achieved something worthwhile.
Players, supporters, local businesses and anyone who would like to get behind the event can donate. Every contribution, regardless of size, will be split between Team Jak and ANDYSMANCLUB.
