On Monday 26th August Bakkavor Meals London were back at Bridgestone Arena for their 4th Annual Cricket Event in aid of the Jason Roberts Foundation. Over the last three years Bakkavor has raised an amazing £20,000 to support the work of the charity.

The ever-popular Cricket Tournament was followed by a football match, a competitive but fun tug-of-war, and multiple other games, which all helped to add to the joyous family occasion filled with laughter, competition, and community.

The raffle which is held each year towards the end of the day of sport, saw fantastic prizes won with gasps of excitement all round and the scenes when the cricket and football trophies were handed out deserved a bigger stage.

JRF staff and volunteers were on hand to support the occasion and soak up the atmosphere.

The JRF team and Trustees extend thanks to the social value award winning Bakkavor Meals London for their continued support and assistance throughout the years and look forward to many more collaborative initiatives.

Otis Roberts, CEO of JRF commented; “What a wonderful day! It was great to see a company and staff teams all come out on Bank Holiday and pull together for a common goal. Working with Bakkavor is an absolute pleasure as always and we continue to see the annual event go from strength to strength.”
