A team from Sense Charity will take on Lloyds Bank in a football match on September 25 to raise money for those with complex disabilities to experience the world and fulfil their potential.

In this ‘Footie Aid’ challenge, teams will come together at The New Saints in Oswestry to play a football match for charity.

The event has been organised by fundraiser, Rob Lloyd, who will play on the Sense Charity team alongside 21 other men and women.

The Sense team will feature former Liverpool and Hull City footballers, Stephen Wright and Gary Brabin.

Rob Lloyd's sky dive for charity.

Having supported the charity since 2019 when he ran the London Marathon for Sense, Rob has completed his Senseless Challenge where he endured 12 months of grueling challenges from skydiving to SAS boot camps. More recently, Rob has used his expertise in property and development to help source charity shop locations for Sense.

Jon Stubbs, Sense Community Fundraising Manager, said: "We’re extremely grateful for Rob’s ongoing fundraising effort for Sense. His support over the last few years and particularly the last year and half has been incredible. The ‘Footie Aid’ challenge is another fantastic example of Rob’s creative and dedicated efforts in supporting Sense and we look forward to cheering everyone on at the match in September."
