WHAT. A. DAY. 💚🖤

We’re still waiting for the final figures to come in, but it looks like the KPFC Charity Football Festival raised around £3,800 for East Anglian Air Ambulance and Norfolk & Waveney Mind! ❤️

What started as two charity football matches turned into a brilliant day of football, live music, family fun and fundraising.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped plan, set up and run the event, our clubhouse team who kept everyone fed and watered, our fantastic singers, sponsors and local businesses who supported us, and the firefighters who managed to join us around emergency call-outs. 🚒

Thank you to Stars Utd for travelling to be with us, to all our K&P Casuals players for getting stuck in, and especially those who were good sports and ended up in the stocks! 😂💦

And most importantly, thank you to everyone who came through the gates. Whether you bought a raffle ticket, entered a competition, threw a sponge, donated or simply came along with the family and enjoyed the day, you helped make it what it was.

An amazing day for two fantastic causes. Thank you. 💚🖤

We’ll confirm the final fundraising total once everything has been counted and reconciled.

Appreciation Post

🚒 A Huge Thank You to Suffolk Fire & Rescue Service 🚒

Over the past week, firefighters have been working tirelessly to tackle the major wildfire at Dunwich Heath. The fire has affected around 150 hectares of heathland – the equivalent of more than 200 football pitches. As the incident developed, Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service was supported by firefighters and specialist resources from fire and rescue services across the UK, highlighting the scale of the operation.

We’re incredibly proud that three of our own K&P Casuals players serve as firefighters with Suffolk Fire & Rescue Service, answering the call whenever our communities need them. While many of us have been following the events at Dunwich Heath, our lads have been among those working alongside colleagues from across the country to help protect lives, property and our beautiful Suffolk countryside.

🔔 This Sunday at the KPFC Charity Football Festival, we’re delighted to welcome Suffolk Fire & Rescue Service, who will be bringing a fire engine along for the day (operational commitments permitting).

Please take a few moments to pop over, meet the crew, have a look around the appliance and, most importantly, show your appreciation for the incredible work they do. Whether responding to fires, road traffic collisions, flooding, rescues or major incidents like Dunwich Heath, they are there whenever our communities need them.

From everyone at K&P Casuals and Kirkley & Pakefield FC, thank you to every firefighter and emergency service worker involved in bringing the Dunwich Heath wildfire under control.

We look forward to welcoming you on Sunday, if any fire fighter is present and off duty be sure to grab our chairman and he’ll get you a well deserved beer. For those in uniform have an energy drink on us 👏🏼🚒

⚽ Who remembers the excitement of opening a fresh packet of football stickers before school?

A bowl of Rice Krispies. A glass of orange juice. A handful of shiny new stickers.

Well… we thought we’d create our own.

Welcome to the Stars United FC Sticker Collection ⭐

Featuring just a few of the faces joining us this Sunday.

Who knows… maybe one day we’ll have a full album! 😄

More importantly, every person taking part is giving up their time to support two fantastic charities, making it a brilliant family day out with football, live music, food, entertainment and plenty going on throughout the afternoon.

We’ll see you on Sunday! 💚🖤
