SCEFL Charity Month – Supporting Fight Bladder Cancer UK in Memory of John Moules

The Southern Counties East Football League is proud to once again support Fight Bladder Cancer UK this season, raising vital funds in memory of our much-missed friend and colleague, John Moules.

Fundraising will continue throughout the 2026/27 season, but October has been designated as the SCEFL’s dedicated charity month, with clubs across the Premier Division and First Division helping to raise money and awareness at selected fixtures.

Fight Bladder Cancer UK is a patient-led charity providing support, information and a voice for people affected by bladder cancer.

More than 20,000 people are diagnosed with bladder cancer in the UK every year, making it one of the ten most common cancers in the country, yet it remains a disease that can often be overlooked.

The charity works to increase awareness and improve access to information and support, while helping more people recognise the importance of an early diagnosis.

Throughout October, supporters attending a number of SCEFL fixtures will have the opportunity to contribute to the fundraising campaign, with collections and other activities taking place around the League.

The fixtures currently supporting the campaign are:

Saturday 3 October
Rochester United v Tooting Bec
Bearsted v AFC Greenwich Borough

Saturday 10 October
Lordswood v Halls
Snodland Town v Spartans Youth – FA Vase
Bearsted v Hassocks – FA Vase

Monday 12 October
Sheppey Sports v Minster

Saturday 24 October
Larkfield & New Hythe v Chislehurst Glebe
Croydon v Staplehurst Monarchs
Tooting Bec v SC Thamesmead
Lydd Town v Sheppey Sports
Rochester United v Banstead Athletic

Saturday 31 October
Bridon Ropes v Lydd Town
Greenways v Lewisham Borough
Kennington v Larkfield & New Hythe
Petts Wood & Holmesdale v Sutton Athletic
Chislehurst Glebe v Corinthian

The fundraising effort will also continue beyond October, with further collections planned at:

Saturday 7 November
FC Elmstead v Hythe Town

Saturday 19 December
Croydon v Greenways

The League would like to thank all of the clubs involved for supporting the campaign and helping us remember John while raising money for an important cause.

Supporters do not need to attend one of the selected fixtures to get involved. Donations can be made at any time through the official SCEFL fundraising page:

https://giving.fightbladdercancer.co.uk/pf/scefl

Every donation, however large or small, will help Fight Bladder Cancer UK continue its work supporting people affected by the disease and raising awareness across the country.

We hope the SCEFL community will once again get behind the campaign and help us raise as much as possible in John’s memory.

Together, we can fight bladder cancer.
