Footballers take STEPs towards marathon

Tuesday 22nd May 2012

FOOTBALLERS will be taking to the pitch for a marathon match in aid of a Swindon charity.

Total Guide to Swindon and local IT company Infosys Ltd are getting into training to host a marathon 24-hour five-a-side football event on Saturday, July 7, at Futsal.

The event is aimed at raising money for the Swindon Ten-Eighteen Project (STEP), a young people’s charity based in Nythe.

Money raised from sponsorship will be used by the team at STEP to continue an ongoing programme of activities at their new premises.

STEP works with young people aged 10 to18 who are experiencing difficulties in their lives, and delivers therapeutic group sessions.

Kevin Metcalfe, managing director of InfoSys, said: “We are delighted to be STEP sponsors for 2012 and very proud to be supporting a local charity working to help local people.

“STEP is doing amazing work and has improved the lives of so many young people, but they do need funding to carry on this work, so we aim to raise as much money as possible for what is a fantastic cause.

“The 24-hour five-a-side football event will be a tough challenge for all of us taking part, but we are determined to do it and raise much-needed funds for STEP on the way.”
