New football fundraiser for disabled servicemen By Chris Marchington 14/05/2021 Share:
We are pleased to announce a new fundraising ‘elite unit’ has been launched to help disabled ex-servicemen and women. Called Combined Veterans Football Club, the CVFC will raise much needed funds, some of it for Services charity Blesma, a charity that helps disabled ex-servicemen and women.
A newcomer to fundraising, but with big ambitions, CVFC is made up of ex-service men and women doing their bit for less fortunate ex-forces colleagues. They are already planning a season of matches, against some well-known national and international sides.
There is very much a gap at the grassroots of ex-servicemen’s and Armed Forces’ fundraising, where individuals have ‘slipped through the net’ and do not get the help they deserve. No blame, it’s just the way it is.
Chris believes the real secret to the business’s success has been its people-focused approach and traditional ethos.
As well as selling more than 200 homes a year, and managing around 475 residential lettings, Clarke and Simpson is also involved in the sale and purchase of much of the agricultural land and farms changing hands in Suffolk each year – ranging from a few acres to some substantial holdings.
It’s very much a Suffolk-centric business, but it does extend its operations much further afield. Henry Birch – who joined in 2003 – and Sally Watts in its estate management department are responsible for Lord Home’s 36,000 acres of land in Scotland – the Douglas and Hirsel Estates – and for the Harris Belmont Estate in Kent which includes 3000 acres and a magnificent 18th century house which is open to the public.
