The biggest and happiest of birthdays to our famous, tall, handsome photographer, Mark Corns! 🎉📸

(It even suits him being behind the mic
Who knows POTP 2027 could we see him on stage 😉)

If you’ve attended any of our events, there’s a good chance you’ve seen Mark behind the camera, capturing all the special moments. We greatly appreciate you and your continued support, as well as the incredible memories you help create through your photography.

Wishing you the coolest birthday ever and a year filled with happiness, success, and plenty of amazing adventures.

Happy Birthday, Mark! 🎂🎈🎉

Thank you to everyone who voted for us. Your support is greatly appreciated, and the funds will help us continue providing care and support to over 100 families in our local area.

Congratulations also to Newhall United and Gresley Rovers on their successful bids. Commiserations to the other five organisations that sadly missed out this time.

A huge thank you to M+S Renewables for giving back to the local community and supporting local organisations that make a real difference to local people. Your generosity and commitment to the area are truly valued.

🏆 Community Support Fund Winners Announced 🏆

What started as a simple idea to support local organisations has turned into something far bigger than we ever imagined.

Over the past week, hundreds of votes have been cast, and countless people have taken the opportunity to highlight the incredible work being carried out across our local communities.

Firstly, we would like to thank every organisation that was nominated and every finalist who took part. The standard was exceptionally high and choosing a shortlist was incredibly difficult.

After reviewing and verifying the votes, we are delighted to announce that the three organisations selected to each receive **£1,000** from the **M+S Renewables Community Support Fund** are:

🌟 Miles for smiles
🌟 Newhall F.C.
🌟 Gresley Rovers FC

However, one thing became very clear throughout this campaign: every finalist is making a positive difference within our community.

For that reason, **every finalist will receive a donation from M+S Renewables**, recognising the fantastic work they do and the impact they have on local people.

In addition to the three £1,000 awards, each of the remaining finalists will receive a **£100 donation** from M+S Renewables.

The remaining finalists are:

🌟 **Measham Community First Responders**
🌟 **The Young Ones – Burton Group**
🌟 The Circle - Swadlincote Family Support Centre
🌟 Stapenhill Swans Girls and Ladies FC
🌟 Derbyshire Blood Bikes

We hope this is just the beginning. The campaign has shone a light on some truly outstanding organisations, and we would encourage everyone to continue supporting them long after the voting has finished.

Thank you to everyone who nominated, voted, shared and supported the campaign.

Most importantly, thank you to the volunteers, coaches, committee members, trustees, staff and supporters who dedicate their time to making our communities better places to live.

🚨STATEMENT FROM WARDY (humourous)🚨

After Wardy Wardy, our Head of Transport Operations, put a post out on social media last night looking for just one more driver to join this year’s 3 Peaks Challenge support team alongside himself and Richard Tilley, he thought he might get a few messages.

A few messages turned into a few CVs.

A few CVs turned into what can only be described as enough applications to start his own transport company!

To say Wardy has been inundated would be a massive understatement. The poor bloke has spent most of today buried under a mountain of CVs, reading through applications and trying to convince himself he only needs one extra driver.

On a serious note, Wardy and everyone at Miles for Smiles would like to thank each and every person who has come forward and offered their time to support what is shaping up to be the biggest group challenge the charity has ever undertaken.

The response has been absolutely phenomenal and is another reminder of just how many amazing people are willing to get behind our cause.

Unfortunately, we only have one position available, so not everyone can be successful this time around. Wardy will be contacting the lucky individual very soon—assuming he can find his way out from underneath the pile of CVs first!

Thank you again for your support, your generosity and your willingness to help make the Miles for Smiles 3 Peaks Challenge on Saturday 11th July a huge success.

You can support the team via the just giving link below with over 40 participants we’re pretty sure almost everyone from
Swadlincote will know a few of our team this year and already they’ve raised over a staggering £23,000 !!

So after what’s been an hectic few months leading up to our biggest event of the calendar year whilst of course running the day to day charity , liaising with our families getting days out booked , respite breaks purchasing specialised equipment and so on we wanted to share a post of a special young boy who’s very happy to recieve his new trike 🤩

Over the next few weeks we will continue to share stories and pictures of other things we’ve been upto . Because of the support of our business sponsors followers and supporters enable us to do so .

It was great to see Teddy and his family enjoying themselves at our recent event party on the pitch alongside many other families that are in the MFS family now ❤️

This is the message we received from Teddy’s parents .

Hello MFS team,
I hope you are well?

Teddy's trike arrived last week after a delay in the original delivery date.
We have managed to get him out and about and he loved it.

A massive thank you to your whole team for helping get Teddy moving on a bicycle for the first time. This will go a long well to aid his mobility and physiotherapy.

Many thanks again 🤩💙

This trike was kindly sponsored by business sponsor
Vickers Young Limited thankyou very much for your continued support Corby and Team .

Wow… now the dust has settled and we’ve finished clearing the pitch, stage, toilets, generator, Harris fencing and everything else has been collected, it’s finally time to sit back tonight and reflect on this weekend’s “Party on the Pitch” 😍

I’ll start with these picture’s ❤️

We’ve received so much amazing feedback. Almost 11 hours in beautiful weather, surrounded by great people all simply enjoying themselves.

✨ The crowd
✨ The acts
✨ The vendors
✨ More bars = fewer queues
✨ The festival atmosphere
✨ Improvements like reusable cups and a fully blacked-out backstage area, selfie area .

Marc and Carl for hosting and creating the opening song how talented ! The DMC dancers for performing to the highest level with just 3 weeks training 🤩

It was definitely the best one yet!!

But… next year will be even better 💥

As many of you have said, each year just keeps getting better — and that’s exactly what we want. We’re always working to improve the day and make every year bigger and better than the last.

Despite price increases from acts and suppliers, we’re really pleased to say we’ve managed to keep our Early Early Bird prices the same as last year 🙌

The event has grown massively over the last 3 years — from 700 people in year one to around 1,700 this year… and it’s only going to get bigger next year!

We’ve already sold an incredible 750 tickets in just a couple of days since the event 😱

Tickets are currently on Early Early Bird with some fantastic discounts available, but we only have approximately 50 tickets left at this price before they move to Early Bird and then General Admission.

We always want to keep things fresh with plenty of new acts each year, so tell us in the comments 👇

🎤 Which act would you love to see again?
🎶 Is there a tribute act we haven’t had before that you’d love to see at Party on the Pitch?

Thank you again to everyone who came, supported and performed. To Gresley Rovers FC and all your hard working helpers thankyou we pulled the best one of yet , To all of our MFS helpers that worked incredibly hard setting the day up from
Tuesday running around collecting things right though to last night thankyou we simply cannot do it without you and it’s not just the hours you put in this last week it’s all the time THANKYOU and here’s to making next year bigger and better !
