Football vs Cancer is a high-profile event that has grown from a local charity kickabout in Peterborough’s Bushfields Park to an all-star match at Bolton Wanderers FC, attracting footballing legends and TV personalities from across the UK. The 2025 event returns to its roots and will be held at Peterborough Sports FC on Lincoln Road, with the gala dinner to be hosted by the Holiday Inn Peterborough on Saturday 19 July 2025.
As a local coach operator, we are proud to support the event that means so much to the people of Peterborough. We have plenty of experience in the field, having been on the road since 1922, and as the previous coach transport provider for Peterborough United, many moons ago! New manager of Shaws, Joanna Bonnett, says “Our caring team normally saviour their weekends for precious family time, but as soon as we asked Darren Staniforth to support the event by driving the team to the game he jumped at the chance. It is our privilege to support this event and we know Darren will do us proud.” Darren told us that “I would be honoured to drive for this event”.
Darren will be driving sporting legends to the game including Rickie Lambert, Monty Panesar and Paul Merson, supported by multi-skilled TV stars Nick Pickard (veteran Hollyoaks actor) and Akeem Griffiths (loveable Big Brother housemate). All managed by tough-tackling, Razor Ruddock!
The game kicks off at 1:30pm on Saturday 19th July with a black-tie gala dinner in the evening, beginning at 6:30pm. Click here to buy tickets this fantastic event, all in aid of two very worthy charities Anna’s Hope and Sue’s Name. See you there!
