Kingsmills Team ‘kicks for a cause’ with charity football fundraiser

Sneckie Soccer Fives Charity Football

On Saturday 8th June 2024, Team Kingsmills gathered to take part in Sneckie Soccer Fives. This is a charity football fundraising tournament in aid of Children’s Hospices Across Scotland (CHAS). Renowned for their passion in giving back to the community, the hotel team were keen to beat last year’s fundraising total and bring home a trophy!

This year, the team raised an incredible £690 for the cause. This brings the total fundraised by the teams in the past three years to over £2600!

Last year’s team raised just over £1410 for the cause. Sadly the team didn’t take home the trophy this year, but had a brilliant time competing!

This year, the event returned to Canal Park in Inverness and saw two teams from the hotel step onto the pitch to compete against 24 teams from across the city. Our ‘top team’ included associates from across our food and beverage, banqueting and kitchen departments. And, the atmosphere on the pitch was electric with families, friends and enthusiasts cheering on from the sidelines!
