Finniebahçe’s Tournament Debut – Echoes Foundation Tournament 2015

Some of you may know that 3 members of our subsidiary company Stipendia Payroll Solutions recently completed the Beverley 10km race, raising over £880 for children’s charity Go Kids Go! Support through fundraising was amazing so a big thank you from both Stipendia and Finnies.

Introducing Finniebahçe

Continuing our support of local charities, a team of Finnies footballers have signed up for a charity 5-aside football tournament raising money for Hull charity The Echoes Foundation. The charity works with children & young people from the Humber region with disabilities or additional needs, helping children, families and carers with advice, facilities and guidance. The Echoes Foundation is a brilliant local charity and is the same charity Anthony and Jack will be raising money for at the Humber Bridge sportive in June.

To compete in the charity tournament, Finnies have formed a squad of 8 players with varying experience but a shared objective; to help a great cause and enjoy a good day of football. (Although I’d be lying if I said we don’t care about winning!) After a good long brainstorm, a winning team name was eventually chosen; Finniebahçe.

What do you think about our team name? Do you have any other ideas? Leave a comment or Tweet us @FinniesAccount. We’d love to hear from you!

We're encouraging local businesses and groups of friends to enter a team and challenge us! The tournament takes place on Saturday 6th of June runs from 12pm and 4pm. Keep an eye out for next week's blog which will include an introduction to each Finniebahçe team member!
