Michael Charles Adams MBE Memorial Trust

MCA Trust Sports Club
Essex Children's Charity

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. The club aims to encourage local children who have undergone cancer treatment to participate in individual and team sports activities as part of their rehabilitation. The charity partners with Everyone Active, one of the UK’s biggest leisure operators, to provide access to various sports venues across Essex. This partnership enables children, parents, and siblings to engage in a wide variety of sports activities and enjoy quality time together, either discounted or free of charge. The MCA Trust founded in memory of Michael Charles Adams MBE, a keen all-around sportsman and sports supporter, recognised the positive impact that sports can have on physical and mental wellbeing. 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

“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."
