Donna Scully, Owner and Director of Carpenters Group, took centre stage at a charity football match at Macclesfield FC Stadium that raised £150,000 for Insurance United Against Dementia in support of Alzheimer’s Society.

The event, led by Enterprise Mobility, brought together professionals from across the insurance industry, with more than 50 organisations and individuals contributing and over 250 supporters in attendance.

Donna managed the Yellow team, securing an 11-2 win against the Blue team led by Stuart Sandell, Assistant Vice President for Sales at Enterprise Mobility. In a moment that captured the spirit of the day, Donna also made a surprise appearance on the pitch for the final five minutes, drawing strong support from those in the stands.

Carpenters Group sponsored the event, supporting both the fundraising effort and the wider aim of raising awareness of dementia. Each player wore the number three on their shirt, reflecting the reality that someone in the UK develops dementia every three minutes.

Donna Scully said:“As anyone who knows me will confirm, I believe in the power of sport, and specifically football, as a power for good.

Sadly, almost everyone knows someone affected by dementia; it is a cruel and unforgiving disease.

Today was such a brilliant opportunity to come together as an industry and fundraise while having a great time.

We’re strongest when we work together, and this event was a great example of what we can achieve when we do.”

Enterprise Mobility made a significant contribution to the total raised, helping to drive the success of the event alongside the wider industry effort.

Insurance United Against Dementia has now raised £12 million for Alzheimer’s Society since 2017 and is working towards a £20 million target by 2030.

This latest event highlights what can be achieved when the industry comes together, with Donna’s leadership and involvement helping to make the day both memorable and impactful.
