Soccer Aid raffle for James Black fundraiser
On Saturday 20 June 2026, Marden Bridge Middle School is hosting a Soccer Aid event billed as MBMS (staff and Y8 pupils) vs The Rest of the World in honour of James Black. This raffle will be drawn after the football match.
James was a kind, funny, sport loving lad who was tragically taken from us in October 2025. He was playing football at school and collapsed due to a cardiac arrest. James was rushed to hospital but sadly died four days later. He had no known underlying health issues. James' passing has left his family and friends devastated. He will be forever loved and missed by all those who knew him. We are fundraising in James' name to build a lasting memorial to him at Marden Bridge Middle School. Thanks to peoples' generosity, we have already been able to fund the construction of a covered, outdoor seating area named 'The James Black Stand'. We are now looking to raise further funds for other wellbeing equipment to benefit the school.
