The Nantwich community is once again rallying behind a cause close to many hearts as the 3rd annual Theodore William Gill Cup charity football match is set to take place on Sunday, 25th May 2025, at Nantwich Town Football Club’s Swansway Stadium on Waterlode, Nantwich CW5 5BS.
Gates will open at 12pm, with kick-off at 1pm, and a small donation will be collected at the entrance to support the cause. Attendees can also enjoy refreshments, as the bar will be open from 1pm onwards.
This heartfelt event is held in memory of Theodore William Gill, who was born sleeping on 26th April 2023. All proceeds from the match will go directly to The Meadow Suite at Leighton Hospital – a purpose-built, non-clinical space created to support families experiencing the tragic loss of a baby.
Opened in September 2023, The Meadow Suite provides a calm and private environment, allowing parents to stay with their baby and grieve in their own time. An attached outdoor area offers a peaceful space for reflection away from the main hospital ward.
Event organisers Gregory Gill and Charlotte Wilson shared the importance of the event, saying:
“This match isn’t just about football – it’s about remembering Theodore, supporting families going through unimaginable grief, and ensuring The Meadow Suite remains a place of comfort and care for those who need it most.”
For those unable to attend, donations can still be made online, with all funds going directly to maintain and enhance the Meadow Suite: https://mchcharity.org/appeals/lost-little-ones/
