Thanet community news: Football for Pilgrims Hospice, veterans cricket, Westgate arts group, Martha Trust – The Isle of Thanet News


A charity football match in aid of  Pilgrims Hospices has raised more than £1,000.
The match at Margate Football Club on June 18 is the second arranged by Hartsdown teacher Callum Pease and friends. Most have relatives or friends who have been cared for by hospice staff.
Callum said: “The match is named the Sharon Pease Testimonial after my own mother who lost her battle with cancer. If it wasn’t for the work of the Pilgrims she would have suffered more than she had too. They are amazing and we as a group feel their work deserves funds from our community as they are beyond selfless.”
Pilgrims Hospice in Margate cared for Sharon after she was diagnosed with terminal cancer in 2018.
Sharon, who had battled numerous medical problems including a crumbling spine and brain aneurysms, passed away at home in 2019.
The score was FC Cartwheels 7 and The Delinquents 5.

June 25 marks the return of the annual Army v Navy veterans cricket match to East Kent.
The 20/20 game will take place at Chatham & Clarendon Grammar School Ramsgate, starting at 1pm. This will be the seventh meeting of the two teams and the current score is 4/2 in favour the Senior Service (Royal Navy).
