PE Teacher's end of term challenge to raise funds for local charities

PE Teacher's end of term challenge to raise funds for local charities

8th Dec 2025 | News

One of our PE teachers, Matt Lindner is taking on an incredible challenge on the final day of this term by juggling a football for the 12 miles from the Amex Stadium all the way to Sussex FA HQ in Lancing. 

He is hoping to raise £1,750, which will be split as follows:

£750 to Martlets, supporting their incredible work with individuals and families affected by cancer. A couple of close friends have sadly been lost to this awful illness, and I want to do whatever I can so that fewer people have to go through it.

£1,000 split three ways between the grassroots communities that have shaped so much of our lives:

– Sussex Schools FA, where I coach the U14s, helping to fund Finals Day on June 6th so every district gets the day they deserve.

– Mile Oak FC, where I’m part of the Vets and coach the U14s, and where Rhys has played for seven years.

– Southwick FC, where I manage the brilliant U12s and Owen has proudly played for the last three years.

Any support, whether a donation or simply sharing his page is gratefully received. Thank you for helping him make a real difference.
