Larking Gowen Kicks Off Support with Special Canaries Legends Match at Fakenham

Big C is thrilled to announce its upcoming Charity Football Match, set to take place on Sunday 18 May, at Fakenham Town Football Club, thanks to the support of accountants Larking Gowen.

The Big C XI team featuring ex-Norwich City Football players including Wes Hoolahan, Simeon Jackson and Simon Lappin, led by captain Adam Dury will take on Help Delete Cancer, a non-profit organisation that raises awareness around cancer, and helps raise funds where needed.

The family friendly event, which is now in its second year, is proudly sponsored by Larking Gowen Accountants, a leading firm with offices in Fakenham and across Norfolk.

It promises a day filled with fun, football, and family activities. Attendees can enjoy penalty shoot-outs, a crossbar challenge, face painting, charity stalls, a raffle, and refreshments.

The Big C team will be wearing a unique shirt for the charity football match, which has been specially designed for the occasion and the sleeves have been kindly sponsored by CIM Signs & Graphics.
