MCA Trust Sports Club
Essex Children's Charity

Charity Sports Events: The MCA Trust, an Essex-based charity that supports children and young people throughout their cancer journey, proudly announces the formation of The MCA Trust Sports Club. This club aims to encourage local children who have undergone cancer treatment to participate in individual and team sports activities. In other words, it plays a vital role in their rehabilitation.

Moreover, the charity partners with Everyone Active, one of the UK’s biggest leisure operators. This collaboration provides access to various sports venues across Essex. As a result, children, parents, and siblings can engage in a wide variety of sports activities. They can also enjoy quality time together, either at a discount or free of charge.

The MCA Trust, founded in memory of Michael Charles Adams MBE, recognised the positive impact that sports can have on physical and mental wellbeing. Above all, the Sports Club helps children return to a sense of normality following treatment and absence from school and social clubs.

We are also currently sponsoring local children’s football, rugby and cricket teams, to help raise awareness of our work, forge stronger links among the community, and build understanding and empathy among peer groups for the children we support, charity sports events Essex!

“Alongside the physical benefits, we believe that being part of a group participating in sport will help rebuild confidence and self- esteem, which in our experience can be completely shattered as a result of what the children have been through.” Chairman of the charity, Keith Isaacs, explains. “At the MCA Trust, we fundamentally believe that a child who has recovered from cancer should not have the rest of their life blighted by the experience."
