The annual SES Charity Football match took place on Wednesday 10 September 2025.  This is a much anticipated event which welcomes back those that have previously lived at Avocet or Turnstone House, including their families.  All our current young people get involved along with adults who are brave enough to pull on their football shorts and boots!

There were enough willing people to make two teams of 23 players, each team had a generous mix of age and ability with a young person as captain for each side.  The final score was 9-5, so it was action-packed and very tense on occasion.

Following 90 minutes of hard-fought playing, everyone headed back to Avocet House for lunch and a chance to catch up with those that had moved on from SES.  Over 100 people attended the event in total, £310 was raised through match fees and a raffle, with the proceeds being donated to Norwich Guide Dogs.
