A charity match between East Surrey hospital and Southeast Coast ambulance service took place at Redhill (Gatwick) football ground recently.

It was played in memory of a colleague of East Surrey hospital and in support of the charity CALM (campaign against living miserably).

To help staff keep fit and de-stress after long, hard shifts, the staff at Gatwick formed their own weekly 6-a-side football sessions at K2 in 2018. The club is made up of the crew (removed ladies and gents because people might not identify with gender, cover our backs) from the ambulance services.
