The Curve Ball Cup 2024

After an intense 4 hours of football competing against 7 exceptional opponents, Interspringfield FC overcame the odds to clinch victory at the Curve Ball Cup! 

On Sunday 21st July 2024, businesses from Essex, close friends and Moulsham High School staff played football to raise money for The Curve Foundation raising over £4,165. 

Organised by The Curve Foundation, The Curve Ball Cup is a charity football tournament which takes place every year at Moulsham High School in Chelmsford. The money raised allows The Curve Foundation to continue helping children who need mental health and well-being support. The event harnesses the power of football to help make sure that children continue to grow up happy, healthy and giving them the best start into adulthood. 

Football boots polished, water bottles filled, and players warmed up, the whistle was blown at 10.30am and the tournament commenced! The group stages began, and all teams competitively played one another fighting for the top two places to enter the next round. Oz Mustafa from Laser Electrical Central said, “A thoroughly enjoyable day and it’s all for a great charity”. Entering the semifinals, the heat was on, all the remaining teams were eager to reach the final! As the final game kicked off, Chelmsford Deputy Mayor Counsellor Susan Sullivan arrived to watch the game in action. The final score was 0-0, which only meant one thing- PENALTIES! Although Vision Personal LTD fought hard to score, Interspringfield FC secured the win with the final penalty.  Runners up Vision Personnel LTD’s coach George Bridle said “Surprisingly the quality of some of the players has shocked me! It’s great to see so many individuals giving up their weekend for such a worthy cause” 

Not only did Interspringfield FC collect their Curve Ball Cup 2024 trophy from the Chelmsford Mayor but Dandara were also the winners of the day, raising a staggering £1,240 for The Curve Foundation prior to the tournament. Counsellor Susan Sullivan commented “I was impressed with the community involvement in the event, and it was a great pleasure watching the thrilling final match. Curve Foundation are doing a superb job supporting the mental health of young people”. A huge thank you to all of the teams who competed – Moulsham High School staff, UPR Scaffolding, Vision Personnel LTD, Dandara, 1st Drywall, MDS Civil Engineering LTD, Laser Electrical Central and Interspringfield FC. Thank you to all the volunteers and everyone who attended on the day. Without you all, The Curve Foundation would not be able to help the children in desperate need of mental health support.

Curve Ball Cup

Join us this June for our new seven a-side over 18s charity football knockout tournament, the Curve Ball Cup!

Taking place on Sunday 11th June at Moulsham High School’s Football Pitches, this family friendly fundraising event is a chance for your team to show off your football skills whilst raising vital funds to support our work with children and young people.

There are 16 team spaces available in the tournament with each team having a maximin of 10 players to form their 7 a-side. The tournament is made up of 15 minute matches, starting in groups, with the top two teams of each group moving on to the knock out stages.

As a charity fundraising event, we are asking for a suggested entry fee of £200.00* per team for the tournament with an additional team fundraising target of £500.00 to be raised on the run up to the event.

There will be refreshments and entertainment at the event throughout the day, but you are welcome to bring your own should you wish. Further details will be released soon.

To sign up for the tournament please email us at: hello@curvefoundation.org.uk. Please tell us your team’s name and the team’s main contact name and details. We will send you instructions of how to pay your entry fee and how to set up your team fundraising page.

In the last five years, the likelihood of young people having a mental health problem has increased by 50%. In a classroom of 30 children it’s likely to have 5 with a mental health problem. Alarmingly 75% of children and young people who experience a mental health problem aren’t getting the help they need.

The Curve Foundation gives children and young people access to vital mental health and wellbeing support before things get unmanageable. However, to do this we need to raise funds to keep up with the current high demand and make an impact on as many young lives as we can. With your support we can provide children and young people with the tools and resources to effectively manage their mental health, both now and when they reach adulthood.

Thank you for your support!

*Should you feel you can not meet the suggested entry fee, a minimum entry fee of £100.00 per team is required to enter the tournament. We do however encourage you to consider the charitable nature of the football tournament and help us have a greater impact on the mental health of as many children and young people as possible.
