A football match organised by the property industry has helped to raise a five-figure sum for Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity (GOSH).

Specialist lender MT Finance raised a massive £14,824 from the event held at the Emirates Stadium, which is home to the current Premier League champions.

The fifth annual MT Finance Football Festival brought together industry partners and professionals from across the specialist lending sector.

Corporate donations

It exceeded its original £12,000 fundraising target through player donations, matchday goal pledges, spectator contributions and corporate donation matching by MT Finance.

The festival is now in its fifth year, and has established itself as a flagship fixture on the specialist finance calendar.

It unites the market for competitive sport, networking, and high-impact charitable giving.
Every pound raised from this year’s festival will go directly toward supporting GOSH Charity’s life-changing work.

It helps to find state-of-the-art medical equipment, pioneering research, and vital support services for seriously ill children and their families.

A heartfelt thank you once again to everyone who stepped onto the pitch, cheered from the stands, or donated to make this our most impactful festival yet.”

Raphael Benggio, Director of Bridging at MT Finance, (pictured), said it was an ‘honour” to be involved in raising the money.

He explained: “It was an absolute honour to present the funds raised from the MT Finance Football Festival 2026 to our incredible charity partner, Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity.

“Seeing our industry come together to raise money for such a vital cause is a major highlight from this year’s event.
